Finally, the user interface was evaluated. It was shown that the color coordination was suitable and comfortable, the control layout was logical, and the operation mode was consistent with the Windows system. The user interface layout could meet the drivers cognitive psychology need, and was easy to master. The vivid graphical interface could provide some pleasure to driver.
