Driving is a cognitively demanding task. Hence, it is necessary to keep the driver's cognitive load in mind while designing new assistant systems. In this paper, we will present first goals of the recently started project "The Car That Cares". One goal is to keep the driver's workload low by adapting the information display to the driver's abilities and available cognitive resources. We want to find out if peripheral vision is a less demanded resource while driving and therefore propose ambient light as an alternative modality for information presentation. Furthermore, we present our approach to measure the driver's cognitive load using functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) and other techniques.
