The ultimate challenge for HMI experts is the creation of an interface that is engaging, functional and easy to reach and use. This has become even more important in the automotive cockpit, where the number of instruments and functions directly accessible to the driver has kept rising steadily over the years. Various new control concepts have been invented such as driver assistance systems, touch screens, touch pads,rotary knobs, voice recognition, voice control, head up displays, rear-viewmirrors and many more. Solutions on how they can ideally be integrated inthe cockpit with a cost efficient approach are now necessary for them to find. As the area visible to the driver is limited, ergonomic aspects as well as technical restrictions continue to make this both intuitive and appealing design of HMI a challenging task. With all this information available, driver distraction is of course a major concern. * Learn how to safely implement control concepts without risking driver distraction. Hear the latest research and real-life experiences from the experts * Understand Customer Expectation and Experiences in order to overcome challenges in designing for world markets and designing for the future * Learn how a smart HMI development will help to integrate and deploy next-generation user interfaces and content in both standard and non-standard environments to fulfil consumers' fast-changing needs * Assess requirements of HMI in electric vehicles and for automated driving to create a coherent concept for the vehicle of the future
