This page is devoted to discussions regarding specific in-vehicle technologies: cell phones, navigation systems, night vision systems, wireless Internet, and information and entertainment systems, among others. The purpose is to provide an avenue for drivers to share their experiences with, and impressions of these technologies so that benefits of these systems can be realized without causing unsafe driver distraction. Although specific in-vehicle devices are emphasized here, comment and discussion relevant to other non-technological or conventional sources of distraction are also welcome. Be sure to take or view results of our informal polls.
Please tell us about your experience with these technologies…

AbstractThe availability of Internet information in the vehicle can provide wide and enduring benefits for drivers, passengers, commercial vehicle operations, service providers and transport systems managers. However, there is considerable evidence that complex in-vehicle information systems can distract the driver. These in-vehicle Internet (IVI) services should not be available if they are dangerous to road users. Road safety is paramount and systems must be designed that do not distract drivers dangerously. Presentation of IVI information would be clearly inappropriate in the format that we experience on our desktop computers. Although there are many challenges to be overcome, it is argued that it is possible to design safe integrated IVI systems. This paper discusses some preliminary Human Factors solutions for designing safe driving-compatible interfaces. It is hoped this Driver Distraction Forum can contribute further solutions to this problem.
