Abstract
The automotive navigation system has been realized and has become popular along with the rapid development of electronic technology. The needs of people to reach destinations efficiently have pushed its development along with the projects of automotive development. Many vehicle-mounted technologies and many technologies supporting the navigation system such as communication and road data have been realized through many years of collaboration of powerful and innovative people among government, academia and industry. The technologies are to meet Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) international standards. Since the navigation interface system is an onboard device observed and operated during driving, securing safety, especially that related to human factors is an important issue. In this paper, the history of the development of the navigation system, research on human factors and standardization to enable social acceptance are described.
