This question focuses on the problem of mirroring contents / apps from the user’s own mobile device directly onto the vehicle’s display(s), especially if some mobile content can create a strong potential distraction level. This issue has to be considered when a TOR is provided by the ADF that requires particular attention (e.g. when the ADF leaves its ODD). If the mirroring is on (using, for example, “AppleCar” or “AndroidAuto”), these systems can be used to provide relevant messages to the driver (e.g., about her/his states, such as impairment, drowsiness, etc.) as a way to communicate with the driver. This becomes especially important if the system “knows” that the driver is engaged in certain activities on the smartphone (Verma & Choudhary, 2018).
Main Question
Is it possible to mirror the customers’ devices on the vehicle HVI?
Sub-Questions
- Is it possible to restrict certain apps or certain activities altogether (e.g. laptop) in general due to their potential distraction level?
- In cases where mirroring is possible, is the content restricted according to the driving mode?
- Is it possible to show warning messages despite the mirroring?
