An HMI (Human Machine Interface) is a software application that presents information to a user about the state of a process, accept instructions and implement the operators control instructions. Typically in HMI, information is displayed in graphic format (graphical user interface or GUI). As HMI is the need of hour in automobile industry, new vehicles are designed with more sophisticated safety features and driver vehicle relationship evolves. The focus in this paper is to identify and develop a human machine interface (HMI) technology that will enable the driver to interact with automobile system in a safe and efficient way. Sometimes, it so happens that the driver will not remember the service details of various parts, replacement of any other parts or lubrication of engine. This may lead to malfunction of vehicle; it may get stuck while travelling which results in accidents. To overcome such problems here we discus about techniques which ensures regular servicing of various parts of vehicle.
