December 30, 2019—A few days ago, the National Finals of the “Xinchuang Cup” University Future Automobile Human-Computer Interaction Design Competition was held in Guangzhou 2019 Intelligent Networked Automobile Driving Competition•The scene of the 2019 Intelligent Connected Vehicle Technology Conference ended successfully. Eight teams from Tsinghua University, Tongji University, Beijing Institute of Technology, Central South University, Zhengzhou University, and Chongqing University of Posts and Telecommunications stepped onto the stage of the national finals and competed in the form of public defense. In the end, the DSP interaction design team of Beijing Institute of Technology won the gold medal in the finals for its interactive system designed for shared cars in the driverless era. The Silver Award was won by the TJ Night Owl team from Tongji University and the Fun-Zo team from Tsinghua University. Their works were the interactive design and implementation of the external screen of the unmanned vehicle based on the simulated driver, and the travel AR shared interactive space. The Bronze Award went to the Wild Pointer team from Tongji University, the Wushui team from Beijing Institute of Technology, and the TRL team from Central South University. mirrors and door warning system. The Lezhixing team from Zhengzhou University and the Zhimeng Technology team from Chongqing University of Posts and Telecommunications won the Excellence Award. Their works are the assisted driving system for multi-modal analysis of driver emotions, and the multi-modal human-vehicle interaction system based on machine learning. .

Cypress semiconductor, as one of the organizers of the competition, provided full support for the “Xinchuang Cup” Future Automobile Human-Computer Interaction Design Competition for Colleges and Universities. The competition was launched in May 2019 and lasted for more than 7 months. It has attracted more than 600 teams composed of students from various domestic colleges and universities to sign up for the competition. Many teams are cross-professional teams, and there are various types of topics. After online submission and preliminary selection of entries, finals and expert on-site debates were held in the North China Division, West China Division, and East China South Division respectively. Finally, these 8 teams were selected to participate in the finals. The process of the competition is also a process of continuous learning and improvement of the participating teams. Looking at the works of the award-winning teams, some works have carried out human-computer interaction design for the imagination of future cars, some works have applied new technologies to the human-computer interaction of cars, and some works have found that the current cars encounter pain points in the process of use Problems and attempts to solve them by improving human-computer interaction fully demonstrated the young students’ innovative way of thinking, teamwork, hard-working spirit, and ability to mobilize resources and solve problems.
