U's Industry and Runtime tools will play a pivotal role in supporting Mazda's HMI and GUI development. By leveraging Unity Software's technology, Mazda aims to streamline the integration of digital tools across various phases of automotive development. This integration not only reduces rework but also enhances operational efficiency.
