Abstract

Modern vehicles allow control by the driver with multimodal user interfaces (UIs), touch interaction on screens, speech input, and mid-air gestures. Such UIs are driver-focused and optimized for limited distraction to not compromise road safety. Nevertheless, they are often complex and it might be difficult to find specific features. Automated driving in L3+ will disrupt the design of automotive UIs as drivers become passengers, at least for certain parts along the way. Similarly, the car is being transformed into a social space where passengers can be granted control over systems because they can devote their full attention without imposing safety risks. The complexity of advanced driver assistance and in-vehicle information systems requires explanation to the user, e.g., in which state the system is, interaction possibilities, expectations from the driver or take over timing. We expect novel technologies to allow for natural interaction and adaptivity to design valuable and future-proof interaction concepts for the changing interior of (automated) vehicles.

Workshop and topics of interest

The goal of this workshop is to discuss challenges and opportunities for natural interaction and adaptive systems in automotive user interface research and to identify opportunities for future research and collaboration. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to
  • Natural interaction in complex environments
  • Adaptation to the driver state and driving context
  • User experience design for automated vehicles
  • User interfaces for novel user groups
  • Inclusive interaction for social settings in the car
  • Methods and approaches to foster trust and acceptance
  • Concepts related to pleasure of driving
  • Personalization of vehicle behavior and interfaces
  • Approaches that support situation awareness through design
