Abstract
In recent years, the full-touch human–machine interface (HMI) mode has been widely used in vehicles built by Tesla. This interaction mode replaces the conventional physical interaction modality with a screen, and it has a good sense of technological experience. However, it is unclear whether this mode will make the driver's lateral control more challenging than the conventional mode (CM). To investigate this issue, two most common secondary tasks were designed: dialing and navigation entry tasks and real-world road experiments were conducted using two instrumented vehicles. The vehicle operating parameters and the driver manual data were collected in different modes, respectively. Interestingly, the opposite results were found regarding the effect of the full-touch mode (FTM) on the driver's lateral control ability in different secondary tasks. Compared with the CM, the lateral control ability decreased less during the dialing task relative to the baseline driving in the FTM, while the lateral control ability decreased more in the FTM during the navigation entry task. In addition, drivers’ lateral control decreased further as task difficulty and driving speed increased regardless of mode. This study provides a theoretical basis for the development of laws and regulations regarding full-touch HMI mode.
