In-car navigation and other relevant research

This is an excellent survey of Existing Systems that use In-car navigation.
In-Car Navigation Usage: An End-User Survey on Existing Systems

A group at the University of Nottingham is conducting research to understand the:

• Implications of new technologies in a driving context (e.g. for safety, efficiency, comfort/pleasure)
• Design issues for novel user-interfaces (e.g. augmented reality, speech, gesture-driven input devices)
• Methods for use in design and evaluation (e.g. the use/validity of driving simulators, setting performance standards)

Survey Says

People realy value traffic information in driving aids, but the information is of little value. Check ou the survey results:
