Revised essay question


Though an interesting and valid question to pose, my previous essay title had an overly esoteric focus which made it difficult to gather research information and find applicable sources. My revised question will allow for a broader look into the state of in-car UI compared to what it could and should be, and how the advent of driverless car technology can create new and exciting opportunities for designers.

"How the advent of autonomous car technology could create more exciting and engaging in-car user interfaces"

Points to discuss:

Human-machine interface design; principles and practice, evolution 
In-car HMI design; what it should be compared to what it is like
What opportunities the driverless future present - exciting, entertainment/learning based interfaces? 

Proposition:
1. Intro
2. Analysis of purely manual car UI and its limitations
3. Analysis of the freedoms given by autonomous vehicles and how that can lead to more exciting and engaging UI 
4. An exemplar future scenario
5. Conclusion
