3. Findings and Observations
Driving Distractions (?)
No distraction by passengers. Conversing without eye-contact (often to multiple occupants) is natural.
Graphics/visuals do not need to be distracting (ie. Blip or soft glow accompanied by sound can signal the driver of an incoming call, , iChat, etc.)
Avatar animation can be reduced at speed (ie. Automatic volume control).

Natasha backs out of parking space: full panoramic screen switches to reverse-mode
Car is in drive, Natasha drives to her client meeting
At speed, the avatar “calms down” visually (EDAS)
Avatar alerts Natasha that her friends are at a coffee shop nearby and notifies Natasha of a gallery opening that evening (EDAS)
At the coffee shop, Natasha mentions the event with her friends - the human side of social networking that was enabled by the car (EDAS)
Natasha continues her journey and given turn-by-turn directions to her destination, real-time traffic conditions, plays music, etc. (Sync)

Natasha toggles through Fuel consumption statistics (Signature HMI)
Views overall carbon footprint (Signature HMI)
Sets cabin temperature (Signature HMI)
Another Lincoln C passes and exchanges a digital “nod/wink” - Avatars from both cars interact/ respond to acknowledge each other (ie. Wave, headlight effect, etc.) (EDAS)
She picks up her colleague/friend Pat
Pat initiates conference call with client, via center touch screen, to confirm early arrival (Signature HMI)

20. IP Display Screens Gap between screens is too big / distracting
We are pursuing projection
Projection
A combination of screens for the rear view display and projection for the center portions is the best way to achieve the desired result of a seamless panoramic screen
Agree to incorporate a visual filter to prevent driver distraction while vehicle is in motion.
When build is completed (including filter) conduct assessment of whether filter is still required to prevent driver distraction.
