When flight computers emerged, the aviation industry shifted from analog instrument panels to glass cockpits, changing forever the way pilots interact with airplanes’ machinery.

With the rollout of computer drivers, automakers are learning similar lessons, when they design their digital cockpits. Human factors do matter.

Questions at the upcoming aviation/vehicle autonomy web panel include: Can a car track the driver’s eye gaze? Are we overloading human drivers with information? Can a digital cockpit reduce the layers of information on display? How long does it really take for a driver to react when the car issues an emergency alert?
