Information Bias in the Passenger Vehicle: Correcting to Aid the Vehicle Control Task
Technical Paper

Abstract
In this paper, the claim is that the information available in
the passenger vehicle can be viewed as biased towards entertainment
as opposed to vehicle handling. To support this claim, I discuss
first a simplified description of driving behavior: street driving
can be thought of as a highly complex task comprising two principal
aspects: vehicle control (VC) and everything else (EE). I then
propose ways to adjust the information bias of the vehicle in favor
of VC and discuss concrete examples of work: vehicle control
gauges, rear speed display and the ESX-2 Concept Car.
However, my view is that the information bias problem is not so
much a "technology" problem as it is a
"knowledge" problem. The vehicle control aspect of street
driving appears inadequately respected and, consequently,
inadequately articulated. Much more work in the area of
understanding and articulating vehicle control expertise must be
done before passenger vehicles can be fully enhanced in the ways
suggested by this paper.
