| description | Human–Machine Interfaces (HMIs) in traditional automobiles are essential in connecting drivers, passengers, and vehicle systems. In automated vehicles, the HMI has become a critical component. A well-designed HMI facilitates effective human oversight, enhances situational awareness, and mitigates risks associated with system failures or unexpected scenarios. Simultaneously, it serves as a crucial safeguard against cyber threats, preventing unauthorized access and ensuring the integrity of vehicular operations in increasingly connected environments. This narrative review delves into the evolving landscape of automotive HMI design, emphasizing its role in enhancing user experience (UX) and safety. By exploring usability challenges, technological advancements, and the integration of rapidly evolving technologies such as AI (Artificial Intelligence), AR (Augmented Reality), and gesture-based controls, this study highlights how effective HMIs minimize cognitive load while maintaining functionality. Significant attention is given to the new challenges that arise from technological advancements in terms of security and safety. |
