FIscher Extending Driver- Vehicle Interface Research Into the Mobile Device Commons Transitioning to (nondriving) passengers and their vehicles. F or more than a century, driver-vehicle interaction research has been mainly focused on interfaces that assist drivers as they interact with their vehicles with very limited attention paid to interacting with people and their agents moving within the surrounding commons. With the emergence of semiautomated and self-driving vehicles in combination with mobile phones, internal vehicular interfaces will gradually transition to (nondriving) passengers and their vehicles. These newly transitioning interfaces share (or will require) similar specifications to the ones currently used to control many consumer electronics. As mobile devices continue to grow in usage, people are creating secondary interface experiences that are related to but may not be attached to vehicles. It is suggested that future automotive IT infrastructure and interaction specifications should follow from general human-computer interaction guidelines, with the understanding that there will be a high heterogeneity to manage in these contexts.
