The Human-Machine Interface (HMI) determines the product experience of the customer. Its design not only differentiates the product appearance from the competition, but also influences both safety and convenience. New equipment features, e.g. in communication and entertainment, innovations in the electronics sector and new interactive driver assistance and driver information functions bring new freedoms but also requirements for the design of the HMI.
