Almost all vehicles soon will acquire advanced user interfaces with specialized information visualization. This revolution poses significant human factors issues, but also new challenges of appeal, cultural orientation, and branding. This article describes considerations beyond traditional human factors and shows conceptual visual prototypes that explore new approaches to vehicle information displays.
