This project aims to develop "aerospace systems" which are applicable to cars. There will be a comparative analysis of the impact of information technology on aircraft and automobile cockpits, including the identification of key human factors. After defining possible aerospace systems applicable to automobiles, this project will implement two new devices, based on preliminary studies, into the 300M. The Standby device includes an investigation of the driver's stress level. The Warning device assists the driver with warning and maintenance messages obtained from the car's network buss. Depending on the state of the Standby device, some warnings could be suppressed as well.
