ABSTRACT
This chapter is written for professionals familiar with human-computer interaction (HCI), but not with the issues and considerations particular to motor vehicles. HCI is of interest to motor vehicle designers because of the rapid growth of driver information systems that utilize computers and communications, collectively referred to as “telematics.” Included under the umbrella of telematics are navigation systems, cell phones, and so forth. Also important are “infotainment” systems, the combination of information systems and entertainment systems, a grouping that obviously overlaps with telematics. Opportunities for authors to review their own estimates from previous years and generate more informed estimates are rare. Such estimates could be informed by utilizing quantitative historical sales data of vehicle various features to develop product diffusion models. The boundary could be with respect to the inside, middle, or outside edge of pavement marking. Together, these two factors alone alter the determination of a lane departure by a foot.
