AUTOMOTIVEUI

Innovations in the area of vehicle electronics, sensing technologies and wireless communication (including both vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-roadside (V2X)) are resulting in a rapid change of the driving context. Over the last few years, a rapid increase can be observed in the number of systems aiming to support the driver and increase the safety and comfort. Ultimately, the combination of these support systems may lead to the complete automation of the driving task. In addition, developments in the area of wireless communication have vastly increased the possibilities for drivers and passengers alike to take nomadic appliances within the car for entertainment and communication purposes. These developments create both opportunities and challenges for researchers and developers in the area of automotive user interfaces and interactive vehicular applications.
