This report explores the potential market attractiveness of integrating the haptic technology of Electrocutaneous Displays (ECDs) into automotive touchscreens. Haptic technology can provide tactile feedback to drivers to improve their driving experience and safety by reducing the amount of time their eyes are off the road. To evaluate the viability of this technology, we carried out extensive research into the industries of automotive displays and haptics, interviewed with stakeholders along the entire value chain, and conducted an end-user survey to determine driver opinions about using haptic technology in car touchscreen displays. The study indicates that there is a promising market for haptic technology in automotive displays.
