Study participants were required to use voice command, touch screen and other interactive technologies to make a call, send a text message, program audio entertainment or program navigation, all while driving down the road. None of the 40 vehicle infotainment systems produced low demand, while 29 systems generated high or very high levels of demand on drivers.</p> <p>Vehicle reports are available for each vehicle’s information system that was evaluated. Consumers can use these results to learn more about the system found in their current vehicle and/or to inform their next vehicle purchase. Automakers and other industry players can leverage these results to isolate the most significant sources of driver demand generated by use of their products, and to enhance these designs such that they minimize the demands placed on people who use them while driving.</p> <style> .xga-accordoin-heading .title { font-size: t; color: #ffffff; } .accordion-pagination .accordion-pagination-wrapper ul li .current, .accordion-pagination .accordion-pagination-wrapper ul li a:hover { color:#fff; background-color: #006CFF; border-color:#006CFF; } .accordion-pagination .accordion-pagination-wrapper ul li, .accordion-pagination .accordion-pagination-wrapper ul li a{ color: #ffffff; background-color: #fff; font-size: 16px; } .xga-accordion-wrapper-01 .xga-accrodion .xga-accordion-heading a{ background-color: #094084; color: #ffffff; font-size: 18px } .xga-accordion-wrapper-01 .xga-accrodion .xga-accordion-heading a.open{ color: #094084; } .xga-accordion-wrapper-01 .xga-accrodion .xga-accordion-body .xga-acc-content{ color: #000000; font-size: 16px } .xga-accordion-wrapper-01 .xga-accrodion .xga-accordion-body .xga-acc-content p{ font-size: 16px } </style> <div class="xga-accordion-wrapper-01" id="xga-accrodion-3050"> <div class="xga-accrodion" itemscope itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question"> <div class="xga-accordion-heading" itemprop="name"> <a href="#" role="button" class="xga-collapse " aria-expanded="false" > Audi A6 Premium</a> </div> <div itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer" class="xga-accordion-body " data-parent="xga-accrodion-3050"> <div class="xga-acc-content" itemprop="text"> <a href="https://exchange.aaa.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/19-0364_AAAFTS-2019-CDST-Report-Audi-A6_FINAL-0722.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-8377 size-full aligncenter" src="https://exchange.aaa.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/audi-a6.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="300" /></a> The 2018 Audi A6 Premium MMI infotainment system placed high demand on drivers in the study.
