Dubai: Touch screens have been around for a
long period of time. In fact, some of the first navigation systems
available in cars offered touch screen inputs back in the 1990s.

However, with the amplified
growth of touch screen smartphones and tablets, sales of vehicles with
touch screen interfaces will grow from 16.7 million units in 2015 to
more than 61 million units in 2021.

Mark Boyadjis, senior analyst and manager
for infotainment and HMI at IHS Automotive, said that the concept is
simple. All interactions with a device should be fully accessible by all
available input technologies and via all available output technologies.

At CES 2015,
Qualcomm Technologies showcased the full potential of the
next-generation full technology concept cars. The technology concept
cars are based on the 2015 Maserati Quattroporte GTS and the 2015
Cadillac XTS and have been customised to bring the full Snapdragon
Automotive Solutions experience to life.

Several automotive HMI
technologies are forecasted to have 20 per cent or greater compound
annual growth rates on global sales. The technologies include touch
screens, touchpads, head-up displays, haptic feedback, proximity sensing
and gesture recognition.

“Most of these technologies
have such significant compound annual growth rates for two reasons —
first, they are relatively new to the automotive industry,” Boyadjis
said.

Meanwhile, centre stack
display systems are forecasted to surpass 54 million unit sales in 2018,
according to IHS, while an increasing number of vehicles will have two
or more unique displays in their centre stack — for infotainment, HVAC,
rear cameras, vehicle diagnostics and more.

Sales will reach all-time
highs, as emerging markets like Brazil, China and Eastern Europe sell
more vehicles with supporting local languages. In addition, while
overall sales of vehicles with speech recognition grow, an increasing
amount of the speech recognition technology in cars will be located in
the cloud.

“We estimate that about 50
per cent of all vehicles with speech recognition globally also will
offer off-board speech recognition in 2021. Automotive user Interfaces
have considerable growth prospects as automakers work to deploy
solutions to meet the expectations of their buyers, while keeping them
focused on the road at the same time,” he said.
