Human-Machine Interface (HMI)

Automotive OEMs and suppliers

In recent years, the value of automobiles has shifted dramatically from merely being a means of transportation to being a source of "an experiential value within a mobile space." The technology that has played a central role in this shift is the automotive human-machine interface (HMI). In association with the advanced digital cockpits and in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) systems, the operating interface has evolved to accept multimodal inputs, such as touch, voice, and gestures. Consequently, the HMI has become an important factor that influences automotive brand value and user experience.
Additionally, advancements in electric vehicles (EVs), automotive driving, and connectivity have driven HMI advancements in the automotive industry. Particularly, the EV market has become dependent on the in-vehicle experiences, as well as driving performance, for its competitive edge. Automotive development has shifted toward software development that assumes continuous over-the-air updates. Furthermore, the prevalence of automotive platforms, including Android Automotive OS, and the development of intelligent assistance utilizing generative and voice AIs have shifted the competitive landscape from the individual products to entire ecosystems. As displays become larger and more functional, HUD and AR technologies become more prevalent, and personal and wellness services become more enhanced, the role of the HMI will likely increase even more.
