ABSTRACT
At the start of the 21st century the interiors of automobiles are becoming increasingly complex. Navigation systems, communication devices and car component management systems are all being implemented in cars. However, these devices increasingly require the visual and mental attention of the driver, distracting from the primary task of getting s afely from A to C via B. Do these devices enhance the user experience, possibly providing a degree of pleasure, or do they add to the pressure that drivers already perceive in the era of traffic jams, speed cameras and road rage?
