INTO THE LIGHT - A light-assist interaction system in the semi-autonomous car and interioer design
(2019) In Diploma work IDEM05 20191Industrial Design
- Abstract
- The current trend around vehicle automation can be likened to a technological race to achieve the maximum amount of automation possible, aiming for complete ‘Automated Drive’ (AD). The development on the way to a full AD experience includes a range of supporting functions like blind spot warning or collision aid, to advanced driver assistance
systems like Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Pilot Assist (PA).
The described technology development has led to a situation where the design of the interaction between driver and car becomes significantly more important as the driving task is now shared between the driver and the vehicle, while the responsibility lies entirely with
the driver. Furthermore, new attentional demands are created,...

The development on the way to a full AD experience includes a range of supporting functions like blind spot warning or collision aid, to advanced driver assistance
systems like Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Pilot Assist (PA).
The described technology development has led to a situation where the design of the interaction between driver and car becomes significantly more important as the driving task is now shared between the driver and the vehicle, while the responsibility lies entirely with
the driver. Furthermore, new attentional demands are created, as the driver must keep track of the automated system and its modes of operation. In this complex interaction ‘mode confusion’ can occur, when a situation or system mode is falsely classified and an action is taken that would be appropriate for the assumed system state, but not the actual.
The aim of the project was to improve the effects of mode awareness on the user experience during semi-autonomous drive under the assist of LED light interaction, especially when a driver using Pilot Assist. The research data was gathered through a user test and interviews with both experienced and inexperienced drivers. Besides, the Project also strived to presenting an improved concept for the next generation scenarios. This was
done by creating an interactive concept prototype that compared against the benchmark of current vehicles with similar functions.
The project resulted in two deliveries. The first is a guideline regarding how the light assist interaction in semi-autonomous vehicles should be designed to support the drivers. the guideline should be used for the systems including similar functions and where learning
the functions is essential for getting users to use them. The second delivery is a concept of light assist interaction system, along with an improved version for better supported learning. (Less)
