An Expert Informed Approach to Assess Challenges in Automotive HMI Development and Their Implications on Development Processes

Abstract

The automotive industry faces a broad variety of different challenges, especially with regard to HMI development. One significant lever for improvement is optimizing the applied processes during development. In order to identify the exact challenges relevant for HMI development and to find requirements for an ideal HMI development approach, 15 semi-structured expert interviews are conducted. By that, a total of 274 challenges and 101 requirements are identified, consolidated into a set of 17 clusters with 54 sub-clusters. Thereby, a foundation for future process optimization is set.
