“The new man-machine interface (HMI) is needed in the era of autonomous driving,†said Niimi Tosaki, an expert in IT&ITS development at the company’s first electronics technology development division.

In the "DisplayInnovation 2014" (October 12th and 31st of October, Yokohama International Convention and Exhibition Center, October 29th), which was opened on October 29th, 2014, Mitsuzaki Motor Co., Ltd. delivered a keynote speech titled "Intelligent Automobile in the Eye of Nissan" (Figure 1). . We introduced the electric-based (zero-emission) centered on pure electric vehicles (EVs) that the company is advancing and the auto-driving-related technologies that have gradually become practical since 2016.
Among them, Toshiyuki underscores the importance of developing human-machine interfaces that are compliant with the era of automated driving. In the era of automatic driving, the driver (person) and the automatic driving system will jointly drive the car. This requires a new human-machine interface that can tell the driver the action plan and intent of the system and give the driver control authority to the driver safely from the system. Tomiichi Toru said: "Nissan is pushing forward the development of a new human-machine interface while advancing the production of self-driving cars."
The important functions required for the man-machine interface of a self-driving car are (1) reminding of an action plan, (2) communicating intentions, and (3) safely switching the initiative from the system to the driver.
It is suggested that the action plan means “it must prompt the right cross at the next intersection to turn to which direction information, etc.â€. Of course, this includes the intention of the autopilot system. Therefore need to convey intentions, such as telling the driver "when the speed of the front vehicle is too slow on the highway, it is behind or overtaking."
Need a new steering wheel and dashboard but it will take time to fully automate driving. Certainly will switch from automatic driving mode to manual driving at a certain moment. At this time, if you suddenly switch the driving mode will bring danger. Therefore, "we need to convey information when switching driving modes."
To realize the human-machine interface that satisfies these three functions, “a new steering wheel, dashboard, and HUD (head-up display)†are needed.
