Abstract:
UI/UX in vehicles shapes user attention, decision-making, and involuntary behavior, emphasizing the need for a strong user-centered design approach. Prioritizing ease of use enables intuitive interaction, while voice assistants and alert systems support smooth and efficient user control. Social engagement, shared experiences, and emotionally engaging elements increase user acceptance, and distinctive, well-integrated design helps vehicle interfaces stand out and feel meaningful to users.
