One basic issue that intelligent vehicles must address is the availability of easy-to-use human-machine interfaces, particularly in these times when fully autonomous systems are unavailable. Supervised systems, in fact, require an interface in order for users to interact with them. This issue s article presents this problem from a slightly different viewpoint: the integration of many different devices on police cars triggers the need for human-machine interfaces as well.

I also seek contributions on the current status of ITS projects worldwide as well as on ideas on and trends in future transportation systems. Contact me at broggi@ce.unipr.it; www.ce.unipr.it/broggi.
