Interaction Thinking in the Trend of Cockpit Screening (I): All for Safety
驾舱屏幕化趋势下的交互思考（一）：一切为了安全
Jun 18 · 2020
The development of smart cars has shown a notable trend of more and more screens in the car, and more and more of them. This also makes some consumers will think: as long as the screen is more and bigger is good. However, is this really the case? Why do smart cars have cockpit screens as a key feature? And what kind of problems and challenges does the emergence of so many screens bring to product design?
智能汽车的发展呈现出一个显著的趋势，即车内的屏幕越来越大，数量也越来越多。这也让部分消费者会认为：只要屏幕更多更大就是好。然而，事实真的如此吗？为何智能汽车都以驾舱屏幕作为关键配置？而如此多屏幕的出现，给产品设计又带来了什么样的问题与挑战？
Electrification is a key factor in realizing automobile intelligence, because compared with traditional fuel vehicles, the two are completely different in terms of power systems, energy methods and other technologies. Therefore, in realizing intelligence, electric vehicles have a natural advantage. The realization of intelligence mainly includes automatic driving, intelligent cockpit, OTA and other functions, in order to better build intelligence, the demand for screens in the car is increasingly prominent. This change is similar to the subversion of smart phones to traditional cell phones, so it will be easier to perceive the screen upgrade of smart cars from the consumers' point of view. More and more operations in the car are centralized in the screen, and users can't blindly operate by touching the physical buttons and feeling the real sense of touch and damping as before. At the same time, the information in the screen will also reduce the user's attention to the road situation, therefore, the popularization of intelligent cockpit screen, the most important issue is the challenge of driving safety.
电动化是实现汽车智能化的关键因素，因为与传统燃油车相比，两者在动力系统、能源方式等技术方面完全不同。因此在实现智能化上，电动汽车具备天然的优势。而智能化的实现主要包括自动驾驶、智能驾舱、OTA 等功能，为了更好的构建智能化，车内的屏幕需求日益突显。这种变化类似于智能手机对传统手机的颠覆，因此，在消费者视角会更容易感知到智能汽车的屏幕升级。车内越来越多的操作都被集中在屏幕内，用户无法像之前一样通过触摸实体按钮，感受真实的触感和阻尼来进行盲操。同时屏幕内繁多的信息也会降低用户对道路情况的注意力，因此，智能驾舱屏幕的普及，带来最首要的问题就是对驾驶安全的挑战。
The articles "Multidimensional Strategies for Addressing Diminished Driver Attention" and "The Influence of the Road Environment on Visual Design" both emphasize a central point: all functional design should have the primary goal of enhancing safety. Safety occupies a crucial position in cockpit design and is present throughout. Therefore, when planning screen functions, it is necessary to consider them comprehensively from multiple perspectives in order to achieve a safer design that is in line with the characteristics of the cockpit environment.
《解决驾驶员注意力减弱的多维度策略》与《道路环境对视觉设计的影响》两篇文章中都强调了一个核心观点：所有的功能设计都应以提升安全性为首要目标。安全在驾舱设计中占据着至关重要的地位，并贯穿始终。因此，在屏幕功能规划时，需要从多个角度综合考虑，以实现更加安全、符合驾舱环境特点的设计。
The screen in a smart car is often placed in the front center console, which makes it basically impossible for the user, especially the driver, to reach the entire screen in a normal sitting position. In the face of such a "proposition", screen usability tests are often conducted before product design to determine the optimal touch area and field of view. The reason for this test is that in the reachable area, the driver can maintain the stability of the body posture, so as to ensure the safety of the screen function operation. And within the optimal field of view, it allows the driver to access information comfortably and quickly with a minimum degree of visual shift. Therefore, the core operations and important information of the product should be prioritized in this area to enhance driving safety.
智能汽车内的屏幕往往放置于前方中控台位置，这使得用户，特别是是驾驶员，基本无法以正常的坐姿来触及整个屏幕。而面对这样一个“命题作文”，往往会在产品设计之前进行屏幕可用性测试，以确定最佳的触控区域和视野范围。之所以会进行这样的测试，是因为在可触及区域内，驾驶员能够保持身体姿态的稳定，从而在确保安全的情况下进行屏幕功能操作。而在最佳视野范围内，可以让驾驶员用最小的视线偏移程度，舒适快速地获取信息。因此，产品的核心操作、重要信息都应优先放置于此区域，来提升驾驶安全性。
Complex road environments require a high level of driver attention, so attention to the screen should be minimized. Blind Maneuver Interaction as a solution allows the driver to perform control operations of the vehicle without taking his/her eyes off the road sight. For example, in the Ideal ONE, a three-finger swipe down exits the application, which is quickly accomplished with such a gesture as opposed to searching for a button and returning multiple levels to close the operation. In the air conditioning control screen, you can adjust the airflow by sliding horizontally in any position, and adjust the temperature by sliding vertically, and these interactions are also popular among users. In addition, in Tesla's map, you can quickly navigate to your home or company by sliding the search box on the right. Therefore, in the interactive operation of the cockpit screen, the larger the operable area, the lower the precision required, and the simpler the operation, the higher the safety.
复杂的道路环境需要驾驶员高度的注意力，因此对屏幕的关注应该尽量减少。盲操交互作为一种解决方案，可以使驾驶员视线不移开路面视线的情况下，进行对车辆的控制操作。例如，在理想 ONE 中，三指下滑即可退出应用，相比于寻找按钮并多级返回关闭的操作，通过这样一个手势即可快速完成。在空调控制屏中，任意位置横滑即可调节风量，纵滑可调节温度，这些交互方式也深受用户喜爱。另外，在特斯拉的地图中，右滑搜索框即可快速导航至家或公司。因此，在驾舱屏幕的交互操作中，可操作区域越多大、精准度要求越低，操作越简单，则安全性就越高。
Multi-dimensional feedback, as mentioned in "Multidimensional Strategies for Addressing Diminished Driver Attention", is also one of the design tools for enhancing safety. Through the integrated use of visual, sound and kinetic effects, drivers can efficiently complete the operation of the vehicle and access to information while focusing on the road conditions. In the air conditioning control case mentioned above, although the control convenience is improved by blind gestures, the actual scenario reveals that the user still needs to look down to confirm the current adjusted temperature value and airflow level, which still poses a safety risk. Therefore, improvements were made in subsequent design iterations. When the control screen adjusts the air conditioner, the real-time adjustment data is displayed in conjunction with the instrument screen, so that the driver can confirm the current adjustment status of the air conditioner with a small sight shift. At the same time, a stepped sound effect is added to the blind air conditioning gestures, which aids the user's perception of the data adjustments from the sound and further enhances the safety of the operation.
《解决驾驶员注意力减弱的多维度策略》中提到的多维度反馈，也是提升安全性的设计手段之一。通过视觉、音效和动效的综合运用，使驾驶员可以在集中关注道路情况的同时，能够高效完成对车辆的操作及信息的获取。在上述的空调控制案例中，虽然通过盲操手势提高了操控便捷性，但实际场景中发现，用户仍需低头确认当前调节的温度数值及风量档位，还是存在安全风险。因此，在后续的设计迭代中进行了改进。控制屏调节空调时，结合仪表屏进行实时调节数据的显示，以使驾驶员用较小的视线偏移，即可确认当前空调的调节状态。同时，在空调盲操手势中也增加了阶梯式音效，从声音上辅助用户对数据调节的感知，进一步提升操作的安全性。
The question of whether the experience of on-screen controls can approach or surpass that of physical buttons is a topic that has come up often since the dawn of the smartphone. While there is no denying that physical buttons offer unique convenience and comfort, the role of the screen in the car is becoming increasingly critical in the trend towards autonomous driving and smart cockpits. Designing for safety, innovating for experience. In product planning and functional design, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the characteristics of the cockpit environment, complex use scenarios, and various limitations, so as to provide drivers and users in every position in the car with product solutions that match the cockpit environment and use scenarios.
关于屏幕操控的体验是否能够接近或超越实体按钮，这是自智能手机诞生以来就经常被提及的一个话题。不可否认实体按钮具有独特的便利性和舒适度，但在自动驾驶与智能驾舱的发展趋势下，屏幕在车内的角色日益关键。为安全而设计，为体验而创新。在产品规划和功能设计时，要综合考虑驾舱环境的特点、复杂的使用场景以及各种限制，为驾驶员与车内每个位置的用户，提供与驾舱环境和使用场景匹配的产品方案。
