3. Improving self-driving requires reconsidering user experience

OEM and Tier Ones have to rethink how humans understand and interact with autopilot technology, thus requiring the redevelopment of the entire dashboard. To ensure that drivers are 100% aware of what is happening, the limitations of the system and what they need to do if they need to drive, it is not enough to add a simple icon. Jason Johnson, Director of User Experience Design of Haman, points out that there are several problems to be solved in redesigning the vehicle dashboard. Does it involve tactile feedback? Is there an audio signal? Are warnings displayed on the head-up display? This year, the user experience of self-driving and semi-self-driving will begin to take shape.

4. The present and future automobiles need a sixth sense, or even a seventh sense.

Tim Van Goethem, Vice President of HARMAN X Advanced Mobile Travel Solutions, predicts that the handover between vehicles (especially Level 2 and 3 self-driving) and humans requires a set of sensor technologies to create a comprehensive environmental view. In the future, there will be a trend to use multiple sensors at the same time, but designers will face challenges and need to integrate multiple sensors in a beautiful, safe and efficient way. New features such as augmented reality and synchronization across cloud platforms will increasingly be used to create a coherent and safe driving experience.

      Dorman Releases Dozens of Automotive Repair Solutions
      By Counterman
      link hidden, please login to view announced the release of 164 new automotive repair solutions this month for its Light Duty segment. The new products join a growing Light Duty catalog of over 133,000 SKUs, offering millions of new sales opportunities for automotive parts distributors, retailers and repair shops, as well as more accessible solutions for vehicle owners, according to Dorman. This month’s releases include a dozen new Dorman OE FIX repair innovations that provide customers with improved performance and repair convenience that they may not be able to obtain with parts acquired from a dealership,
      link hidden, please login to view said. The company added that one of those OE FIX innovations is an upgraded camshaft bridge cover designed for select Volkswagen and Audi vehicles equipped with 2.0L engines. The original equipment cover may fail from pressure pulsations that can cause internal component damage. The Dorman replacement features several design improvements that help mitigate the pulsations and prevent filter clogging that can starve the engine for oil and harm vehicle performance.
      “At Dorman, innovation drives everything we do,” said Eric Luftig, senior vice president. “We’re proud to bring groundbreaking solutions to the automotive aftermarket, helping consumers find the right parts when they need them most. Our commitment to empowering vehicle owners and repair professionals with quality, accessibility and reliability continues to fuel our passion for progress.”
      Dorman said it continues to expand its components for turbocharger repair and replacement, adding a new OE FIX oil feed line constructed of braided stainless steel over the line’s flexible sections. The line is engineered to offer a more durable replacement compared to the original equipment’s braided nylon sheathing used in certain Ford Escape and Ford Fusion models, the company said.
      Additional highlights for March include:
      An OE FIX radiator outlet hose for select Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs. The line features a rugged aluminum Y-connector in place of the factory’s plastic connector. A main battery fuse with coverage designed for a significant number of Cadillac and Chevrolet vehicles, and engineered to match the performance of the original equipment fuse. A new transmission oil cooler designed to match the performance of the factory cooler on select Dodge Durango SUVs. The cooler joins a comprehensive lineup of quality fluid coolers from Dorman.
