Abstract In recent years, research and development activities of automobile manufacturers have placed an increasing focus on offering intelligent assistance systems in the vehicle. By delivering targeted information and warnings, by delegation of tasks, or by intervention, these functions aim to improve active safety, particularly in complex situations, and/or to enhance the driver’s sense of comfort. The system of driver, vehicle, and environment can be thought of as a control loop with feedback, in which the role of human drivers is decisive in determining the safety potential of this control loop. The safety and comfort characteristics arise for the driver from his interactions with the vehicle and the environment (Bernotat 1970). The human–machine interaction serves as the interface between the driver and the vehicle and also between the driver and the environment. Thus, the design of the human–machine interface is a key determinant of the effectiveness and acceptance of driver assistance systems. Due to the increasing amount of systems in a car, the functional integration of different assistance systems and a higher degree of automation of the functions are expected in future.
