Deriving future user experiences in autonomous vehicle

Abstract

Autonomous vehicle will change the user behavior completely; therefore, needs for exploring the user's future experience in the autonomous environment are required. The objective of our study is to explore the direction of design of autonomous vehicle full-windshield display in the future. This paper applied user research tool for understanding future user experience in autonomous vehicle and deriving the underlying issues for the autonomous vehicle User Interface (UI). Our tool starts with generating future activity pool, giving shape to the idea, and helping participants develop concrete design concepts and producing the prototype. This paper describes general design issues aroused in user research, which concentrates on different attitudes of drivers and fellow passengers in autonomous vehicles.
