Automotive HMI Market Trends

Ability of human machine interface to provide driver safety to boost market growth

Combining advanced automotive human-machine interface platforms with in-vehicle sensors, drivers can get a real-time augmented reality experience via a heads-up display (HUD). HUDs help drivers visualize potential movements of other road users and provide information such as changes to future cornering strategies and speed limits. This improves driver and vehicle safety by allowing drivers to focus on the road without adding meters to their dashboards. Therefore, additional safety features and demand in the automotive industry will boost the growth of the automotive HMI market globally.

Human-Machine Interface benefits end users and gives automakers a distinct advantage in an increasingly competitive market. Consumer preference for advanced vehicle safety and technology will help the automaker add more features to his HMIs, further consolidating the market position of market participants. In addition, the flexibility and adaptability of automotive HMI platforms help manufacturers save long-term costs by avoiding redundant software development costs and realizing profits from existing components, sensors, and hardware spare parts.

Artificial intelligence powering a range of new in-vehicle assistants Using AI in the vehicle allows software expertise to interact between this interface system and the driver using the vehicle's onboard capabilities. Voice control systems such as Google Assistant and Alexa ensure an integrated in-vehicle experience for passengers by providing voice recognition technology. In addition, this advanced voice technology makes it easier to minimize driver distraction, ensuring safer driving. Increased adoption of this technology will drive future market growth due to growing concerns about driver safety. Therefore, such advanced technology related to the human-machine interface has enhanced the Automotive HMI market CAGR across the globe in the recent years.

Automotive HMI Industry Developments

October 2023: Elektrobit launches new tool for in-car HMI customisation.

Software specialist Elektrobit (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Continental) has announced a new software tool called the ‘Theming Engine’ which it says is capable of fully customizing a vehicle’s user interface at any point during the life of the vehicle – without the need for a software engineer.

Elektrobit claims its Theming Engine allows automotive OEMs, fleet managers, rental car operators and shared mobility service providers to personalize the look and feel of a vehicle “on the fly,” providing opportunities for revenue generation, improved customer satisfaction and enhanced brand loyalty beyond a vehicle – or fleet’s – point of purchase.

The Elektrobit Theming Engine provides design templates and configurations, based on the Android platform, that enable cockpit design teams to produce and apply bespoke interfaces. It claims the Theming Engine decouples UI design from software development so creative designers can modify the look and feel of an interface at any point within the life of a vehicle. This, the company maintains, makes it easy for them to create and deploy a variety of themes including brand- or model-specific imagery, text types and colour schemes; updates for seasons, holidays, time of day and anniversaries, geographic positioning such as current location or destination location; and more.

Elektrobit claims the Theming Engine enables OEMs to create dynamic theming for car brands, models, across regions or specific demographics. Design teams can easily create themes, whether brand-focused or consumer-driven, to communicate an aesthetic and generate a unique user experience. The Theming Engine makes it fast and easy to roll out themes across brands, across car models, across regions or across different consumer demographics.

It also helps build custom triggers for theme changes. The design team can define triggers that enact theme changes in a time-phased approach, based on user inputs or spurred by new corporate branding. New theming can be pushed over the air or accessed on demand via these triggers.

June 2021 Varroc Engineering Limited (Varroc) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Candera GmbH, a leading HMI partner, which is known for providing tools and developing Human Machine Interface for worldwide automotive and industrial customers, to share this Interface technology for Varroc’s TFT Instrument Cluster

May 2021 Stellantis NV and Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd. (“Foxconn”), together with its subsidiary FIH Mobile Ltd., announced the signing of a non-binding MoU to form Mobile Drive. Moreover, this joint venture aimed to bring innovative in-vehicle user experiences enabled by HM interfaces and advanced consumer electronics.
