Abstract

In order to design in-car interfaces in a user-centered way it is necessary to understand users' experiences (UX). Therefore it is beneficial to gain early insight on the user acceptance (UA) of the system under development as a part of a holistic understanding of UX in the car. This paper describes a pre-study on the influence of drivers' characteristics (such as gender, self-concept, opinion) on the UA of eco-friendly in-car interfaces. Five interfaces that support environmental friendly driving were presented in an online questionnaire. No influences of socio-demographic variables and the self-concept components of the driver were found on UA. In opposition to that it is shown that users' wish for technology support and the general attitude towards technology have an influence on UA.
