Abstract

The market for smart cars is fast forming. Autonomous vehicles are anticipated to go into mass production in 2020 and by year 2030 sell over 40 million units. Meanwhile, more convergence and joint technological development are expected to happen between the automobile industry and the IT/SW industry. As smart cars become more sophisticated, one of the most important factors emerging is the high sensitivity input method used for manipulating major features of the car. It has now become important to go beyond simply providing mechanical function and offer human-friendly interactions based on the HVI(Human Vehicle Interface). This study seeks to conduct a comparative analysis on how the major features of smart cars want to be manipulated, by looking at the requests made by drivers in different countries. For the study, an online questionnaire was conducted on 406 drivers in Korea, China, U.S.A. and Europe on the 14 major functions of smart cars. Of the results, findings that had statistically significant differences were used to conclude a guide on designing the input method for each region. This study is meaningful in that it analyzed the difference in preference for input method across different regions, based on the requests made by the users.
