The interaction between human drivers and consumer vehicles is set to be transformed by autonomous driving. Indeed the transformation has already begun, with semi-autonomous driving coming under greater scrutiny in the wake of recent accidents involving the Tesla Autopilot system. In this report, ABI Research outlines the next generation HMI technologies necessary to safely balance the interaction between drivers and semi-autonomous systems and details how these technologies may be leveraged to deliver additional services to consumers.
Looking further ahead, this report analyses how the role of HMI technologies will develop as vehicle autonomy increases and human contribution to the driving process diminishes.
