Abstract
A review of the demands of the driving task reveals that drivers require a high level of perceptual and information processing skill to operate modern vehicles safely and efficiently. These basic skills, as they relate to driving, are examined and their relevance to vehicle design is discussed. Potential difficulties associated with the presentation of information in vehicles, including 'high technology' displays, are outlined.
