The freedoms afforded by autonomous vehicles


Fully Manual: Interface and instrument clusters focus on speed, revolutions per second, fuel, selected gear, and oil



Semi Autonomous: Interface and instrument clusters focus on speed, autonomous paths, music, climate control and navigation






Fully Autonomous: Interface and instrument clusters focus on navigation, music, entertainment and an extended use of colours


Conclusion

The interfaces in a manual car have to be free from distractions, viewable at a glance and redundant when not in use. Free from the limitations of purely manual cars, the interfaces in autonomous cars can take more liberties with iconography, colour, display sizes and display uses.
