Future-proof self-driving car design (Advanced Self-driving Truck)

Since 2017, we have been exploring the possibilities of creating new types of unmanned vehicles. Vehicles that simply copy existing ones should become a thing of the past, as they were created "around the driver". Unmanned vehicles can be built without regard to this principle.
Partly autonomous cars are of particular interest now. There will be a human operator present in them, but he will not constantly control the movement, rather he will observe what the system is doing.
At the same time, the concept of a work shift will change, since an unmanned vehicle does not need to take breaks for rest and sleep. The ride will become almost continuous. Thus, the comfort of the operator's workplace will become even more important than it is now.
The development of the design of the cab of the future truck is a real challenge for an ergonomist, because there is no binding to the controls (steering wheel, pedals), there is no need to position the driver's seat in a certain way, but it is necessary to ensure that they understand everything that happens to the car.
The Advanced Self-driving Truck Project aims to research this problem.
