rucks have come a long way since the German brand Daimler created the first pick-up back in 1896. Like


their cousins in the car sector, the vehicle cockpit has become highly digitised, with features and functions being accessible through dedicated touchscreens and a plethora of inputs. This increased digitisation has seen experts in user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) design come from


other sectors into automotive with a goal to create systems that are safe and intuitive to use. This has led to the term Human Machine Interface (HMI) to be used as the moniker for all in-vehicle interactions and our business, Conjure, has been at the forefront of HMI design for the past half decade. As the all- digital HMI becomes ubiquitous in the world of trucks, we look to share the risks and opportunities we see in next- generation cockpit design.
