For IVIS, distraction is clearly the most critical HMI issue. Although the phenomenon has
been studied a lot we need to continue working e.g. on valid and efficient methods for
assessing distraction.
3) What are the main driving forces in this field?
The main, sometimes competing factors here are the market and public safety. They need to
be balanced.
4) What types of HMI personalization are desirable/ feasible?
Personalization could be considered in two steps:
iii) 1 st step: “cosmetic” functions (mainly regarding skins, graphics,
ergonomics aspects etc).
iv) 2 nd step: more advanced dynamic personalization of the system (for the
time being these more complex features are under investigation mainly in
European projects like AIDE and their consideration is only in an early
stage).

Topics/Questions
1) What are, in your view, the key features of a future adaptive integrated drivervehicle
interface? Does the HMI need to be adaptive and/or integrated at all?
• Yes, the HMI should be both integrated and adaptive. Due to an increase of
functions in future vehicles integration will be needed. Integration is needed from
a packaging, cost and safety perspective.
• Integrated HMI: several functions share the same interface to the driver. The
more functions that will be available in our vehicles the bigger the need of
integration of functions. Modularity is important. Integration is necessary if the
number of functions will grow in the pace we foresee, for several reasons: safety,
cost, efficiency and styling. The level of integration can be discussed, most of the
SGI members felt that a well balanced approach needs to be found.
• Adaptive HMI, the HMI could be adaptive to:
i. the driver/user
ii. the situation – some members in SGI thought this was difficult and were
not convinced that this is useful. Having the systems adapted to the
situation could make the driver confused. The vehicle will not behave as
