Significance of In-vehicle Functionalities in Different HMI Options
Hands Free Telephony and Media Controls are the Most Commonly Accessed In-vehicle Functionalities

Voice Control

• Navigation includes voice destination entry, POI search, Local search, and voice route guidance.
• Hands free telephony includes voice dialing and contacts search.
• Media controls are for changing music tracks, skipping tracks, increasing or decreasing volume, and control radio using natural speech or voice commands.
• Changing the temperature of the car is also available through voice control interface.
• Accessing select smartphone apps like Twitter, Pandora radio, and Stitcher through voice commands is available.

Steering Wheel Controls

• Steering wheel buttons are generally used for menu-based systems.
• Cruise control for maintaining steady speed is one of the most common functions available on the steering wheel.
• Hands free telephony here includes accepting or rejecting calls and browsing through contacts with the help of navigating keys.
• For cars with voice control, activation of the voice control system is done via a button on the steering wheel.
• Buttons on the steering wheel can be used to change music tracks, skip tracks, control radio, and to access vehicle information.

Multifunctional Knobs

• A rotary knob is used to access menu-based systems with a few dedicated buttons for navigation, telephony, and radio.
• Navigation here includes map zooming, destination selection, and POI selection.
• Searching and selecting phone numbers for telephone calls comes under hands free telephony. A special number pad is provided in some cars.
• Changing music tracks, increasing and decreasing volume, and radio controls fall under media controls.
• Temperature inside the car can be increased and decreased using these knobs. It can also be used to access vehicle information.
