This becomes our second issue after Consumer Electronic Society decided to move from the previous editorial service to new one called “Common Design Service” for its production. I bring excellent news to your attention. I came to know about the 2018 impact factor of MCE. It is a pleasure to learn that the Impact Factor of MCE for year 2018 is 3.273. Based on my experiences, I consider this as an extraordinary achievement for a 7-year-old magazine. This is 128.24% increase with respect to the 2017 impact factor of 1.434. I would like to thank all the members of the editorial board and the enthusiastic authors who made this possible. I am hopeful that we will maintain the same quality and standards and momentum trend for future years. The current issue of MCE has a theme of vehicular security. I have discussed the concept of Energy-Smart, Security-Smart, and Response-Smart (ESR-Smart) in the past in my editorials as well many keynote addresses. This theme on vehicular security is a specific example of security-smart. Securitysmart deals with the security, privacy, or ownership-protection of electronic systems as well as that of the data that these systems capture, process, or store. In many articles and keynote addresses, I have formally defined smart cities as well as discussed the technologies and components needed for their design and operations. The smart cities use one or multiple smart components, which are essentially cyber-physical systems built using Internet-of-things (IoT). The components include smart healthcare, smart transportation, smart agriculture, smart infrastructure, and smart grids. Security and privacy are important for any of these components of smart cities. However, the challenges to provide the security/privacy solutions are not the same for different components and technologies deployed in the smart cities. The smart healthcare domain that uses various devices in the Internet-of-Medical-Things (IoMT) framework need to have security/privacy solutions which do not introduce much energy overheads. The IoMT devices include medical sensors, implantable medical devices (IMDs), or wearable medical devices (WMDs). The IMDs which, in the current generation design may have communications capabilities along with WMDs, are collectively defined as implantable and wearable medical devices (IWMDs). I envision that IWMDs in the framework of IoMT may lead to the realization of Internet-of-Everything Digital Object Identifier 10.1109/MCE.2019.2927970","PeriodicalId":179001,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Consumer Electron.

It is estimated that there will be 220 million connected cars, globally, by 2020. With the growth of Internet-of-Things-enabled technologies in vehicles, such as power and infotainment systems, remote locking and unlocking, remote engine start, navigation, and autonomous driving features, the potential threat vectors for malicious cyberattacks are rapidly expanding. A taxonomy of vehicular security attacks to provide the general outline of an attack including who the attackers could be, what tools they might use in the attack, the actions taken with those tools, and the attackers’ overall objective for the attack is presented in Figure 1. As an example, software vulnerabilities could be exploited to remotely take control of safety-critical systems including the brakes in the vehicle. Thus, there is a growing concern that vehicles can be hacked, and the user data can be stolen. These cyberattacks are a threat to the reliability and safety of the car and to the privacy of the driver. As per the report “Cybersecurity Best Practices for Modern Vehicles” published by National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the United States Department of Transportation (DOT)’s top priority is to enhance vehicle cybersecurity for mitigating cyber threats that could present unreasonable safety risks to the public or compromise sensitive information such as consumers’ personal data. Various vehicular attacks can be broadly classified into the following categories.","PeriodicalId":179001,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Consumer Electron.

With the development of advanced driving support systems and automatic driving technology, there are voices that “if these systems become widespread, HUD may not be necessary.” In response to these opinions, we consider that “the importance of HUD, which is the basis of human-machine interface (HMI).” In this special section, we focus on the HUD and automatic driving technologies as human centric technologies in addition to the mechanism and features of HUD that is the basis of HMI. The article “Requirements and System Aspects of AR-Head-Up Displays” by K. Blankenbach describes the requirements engineering for Augmented-Reality HUDs (AR-HUDs) and provides proposals to solve issues encountered in moving from conventional HUDs to AR-HUDs. The article “The Future of Holographic HeadUp Display,” by Philippe Coni et al., presented novel architecture using Holographic Optical Elements. This technology removes the need of complex optics, while offering a large field of view and a large eye-box, for a better user experience. The article “Mitigating Driver’s Distraction: Automotive Head-Up Display and Gesture Recognition System,” by R. Lagoo, et al., presented a novel HUD system which utilizes gesture recognition for direct manipulation of the visual interface. The HUD is evaluated in contrast to a typical Head-Down Display system by 20 users in a high-fidelity virtual reality (VR) driving simulator. The paper overall presents the system design challenges and user evaluation results. The article “Multi-Mirror Array Optics for Augmented Reality Devices in Automotive Applications,” by Tomoya Tsuruyama et al., presents novel optical AR system using multimirror array (MMA) optics for AR devices. MMA optics are compact optics used for constructing augmented reality devices. They prototype a wearable display with MMA optics. By using an MMA, they were able to make a wearable display that resembles conventional eyeglasses. They also used a Fresnel reflector to make a prototype wide field-of-view (FOV) combiner for HUDs. The article “Phase Only Holographic Head-Up Display without Zero-Order Diffraction Light for Automobiles,” by Yoshitomo Isomae et al., introduces a phase only holographic head up display without zero-order diffraction light for automobiles. Zero-order diffraction light degrades the quality of reconstructed images by overlapping with them. Hence, zero-order diffraction light Digital Object Identifier 10.1109/MCE.2019.2923900","PeriodicalId":179001,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Consumer Electron.
