Abstract
An electronic cocoon is a vehicle in which the requirements of
safety, mobility and the environment are managed electronically
using information from on-board and off-board data networks. The
center of these data networks is the driver's own complex and
adaptive network which has interfaces of its own with sensory,
cognitive and motor capabilities and are variable across the
population.
In this paper, we describe the delicate balance between the
unbounded desires for the ideal and the viable expectations of
reality. Our vision will be described in the light of significant
and exciting technological advances, sobered by the realities of
our increasingly complex driving environment --- an environment
that actively and constantly challenges the driver's finite
attentive resources.
