Hello respectable community of road-trippers!
We are students involved in a project with GM at Carnegie Mellon University and we would like to ask all of you a few questions if it's not a bother. :)

The project is to re-design the interior interface of vehicles to enhance the user experience/ interaction that goes on in between drivers and their vehicles. We are re-designing it so that it tailors better to long distance driving.

So our questions are: (we tried to keep it as simple as possible)

1. What are your tricks to stay awake while you are on the road?

2. When is your attentiveness the lowest?/highest?

3. What features would you love to see in your vehicle that would enhance/comfort your road trip experience?

I know the questions are broad and abstract to some degree, but we did not want to limit you guys to anything. So please feel free to respond in any manner you would like, and any helpful responses are greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much in advance!

plus, if there is anything about these questions or our research processes that you guys think needs fixing, please tell us!
