Abstract
With increasing complexity of modern vehicles the number of
control buttons grows, too, because every electric element like
power windows, power seats, or a sun roof, requires a separate
switch. By use of a touch panel which is similar to a graphics
tablet you may now combine many switches and buttons within a
single element.
The combination of a touch panel with synthetic speech output
may facilitate the handling: the speech output reflects the
inputted commands permitting the driver to concentrate on the
street ahead.
For the near future it is not planned to introduce a touch panel
into the series production; however, in the Research Department of
Daimler-Benz, different man-machine interfaces are investigated and
weighed up.
