Automotive

The main focus in this chapter shall be on information and communication in the situational context ``vehicle''. Thereby, based on relevant theoretical approaches in the area of ``information'' and ``communication'', it shall be demonstrated that the topic communication and information becomes even more complex through the special situation in a car while driving. First, one needs to distinguish between ``natural'' human--human communication in a vehicle (e.g. passenger, mobile telephony) and the more ``artificial'' human--vehicle communication. For designing the optimum human--vehicle communication, findings and approaches of the human--human communication thus shall be used. Information and communication between drivers and the impact on the traffic system shall not be taken into consideration here.     «
