With the rapid development of autonomous driving technology, the integration of VR and HCI technology has shown great potential in the design of autonomous driving vehicles. This study explores how VR and HCI technologies can work together to improve the efficiency, safety and driver experience of autonomous driving vehicle design. VR technology optimizes the design and functional testing of vehicles by creating an immersive test environment, while providing drivers with a simulation training platform to help them better cope with various driving situations. HCI technology enhances the trust and communication between drivers and autonomous driving systems through intuitive interactive interfaces and intelligent feedback mechanisms. In addition, this paper also analyzes the technical bottlenecks and challenges in the integration of VR and HCI technologies, and looks forward to the application prospects of these technologies in the field of autonomous driving in the future. In the future, with the continuous development of technology, VR and HCI technologies will further promote the intelligent, personalized and humanized design of autonomous driving vehicles, and improve the safety and efficiency of the overall transportation system.
