Tendencies in Automotive HMI for 2023
Listen to the Podcast:
Manufacturers are working hard to make driving safer and more enjoyable because people spend so much time in their cars every day. This is mostly done with HMI technology. Which is also called “human-machine interaction.”
Even though each automaker has its own version. There are some common themes in HMI design and development that can found in almost all of them.
Increased speech usage
Communication between drivers and their vehicles and the outside environment has the greatest potential for change. Because of recent developments in speech recognition technology, the automotive HMI may now be operated using only natural language commands. It has advanced significantly from the early days of Bluetooth conversations, enabling drivers to do things like find a video, change the temperature, and even make appointments or place orders at restaurants without making a phone call.
The next cutting-edge technology is indirect voice control. Which uses cues like a traveler saying “I’m cold” to change the temperature for that person’s comfort.
Augmented reality (AR) games, on the other hand, don’t require the player to wear any extra gear. As augmented reality has grown. Technology has become smaller and less intrusive, making it easier for drivers to use it in their daily lives. Head-up displays (hoods) are becoming more popular. They show drivers important working and directional information without them having to look away from the road.
Technology is Widely Available
When this technology is widely available, it will change a lot about how cars are warned about dangers and how easy it is to get directions or find points of interest. The driver might able to see where the closest place to charge it is. Even automakers and vendors can do this to promote or support their services.
Safety First Strategy
Even though every change to the human-machine interface (HMI) of a car affects safety in some way. Advanced driver-assist systems (ADAS) are probably the most important. A lot of attention has been paid to the driver’s ability to understand feelings other than what they see. People are better able to process tactile or auditory signals when they are worried.
Accidents are less likely to happen if you have safety-focused gadgets, like steering wheels that vibrate or make sounds and warning lights. The main goal of ADAS HMI systems. Which are supported by many sensors and cameras placed all around a car, is to save lives.
No-distraction Usage
In the next few years. Automakers want to make cars that drive themselves, so HMI development and businesses that offer bespoke vehicle HMI development services will very important. A small number of vehicles are trying to get around some of the barriers right now.
Driver tracking devices have been used to make sure that drivers are paying attention to their jobs while they are behind the wheel. General Motors, Tesla, Subaru, Ford, and Toyota all have cameras in their cars that can tell if a driver is paying attention or if they look tired and should take a break.
Improved How Well you can Draw?
People want cars with more features and a more modern look. But to make more complex visuals, graphical algorithms need to improve. Soon, people will want 3D graphics in their cars that are as good as those in video games. So, it’s important to use the right design tools. Which lets you make 3D and AR designs with more detail.
By using existing graphical apes like Vulkan. It will also be possible to make high-quality and fast visuals on car socs. Many he doesn’t offer personalization. Which is a shame. Instead, they let you make your own. Users can only change a small number of settings on these platforms. Even though the system lets users change the pre-set options. Most users don’t, so this answer isn’t very good. When making the HMI. You can make driving more pleasant for your customers if you think about what they like.
Examples
Here are some ways that knowing how users act can improve the user experience:
By asking the user what temperature is best. The system makes sure that they are at a nice level. The user may say, “I’d rather be warmer.” The gadget then changes the temperature. And your choice is saved. Based on what the user likes, the algorithm can suggest content, places to go, or things to do. For example, the algorithm can recommend new songs and sounds based on what the user likes. When the user does certain things, the system can automatically turn on the seat massage and let the user know (for example, “For your comfort, I’ve turned on the classic massage”). Choosing a massage style is one of the more time-consuming things to do in a modern car. So, this smart machine can help users.
Directions that are Easy to See
The ability to find a specific place in a system and the travel experience should give the most weight (the capacity to reach that point). Many new cars need way too many touches from the driver to get things done. By giving your system’s information design careful thought, you can avoid situations like this.
Conclusions
You must first tell us where the users will go (such as suspension, temperature control, amusement system, and other car options). These places will be information hubs where people can get more detailed information about how to get around. Then, you need to divide the necessary functions among them and make sure that each function can only reach with three touches.
Transportation as we know it now will seem significantly different in ten years. Manufacturers all over the world are focusing on perfecting in-car usability and safety by working to provide more advanced HMI for vehicles. Several people will engage in the following activities around that time.
