Abstract

This study examines the cognitive workload associated with selected speech-to-text functionality of actual OEM systems and extends previous research results to interactions with commonly available vehicle systems. The authors evaluate the mental demands of simple auditory-vocal vehicle interactions across five 2013 and one 2012 model year OEM infotainment systems. The results of the study show that simple auditory-vocal interactions with vehicles may significantly elevate mental workload in drivers.
