In highly automated driving, the human-machine interface plays the role of communicating the system status to the user, so that it is always ensured whether the human or the automation is responsible for safe vehicle guidance. This poses new methodological challenges in user-centered evaluation. The presentation presents a multi-method approach to testing and evaluating minimum requirements of HMIs and discusses their application in the development context.
