In the automotive field, the "third space" currently refers specifically to the advanced form of the smart cockpit. The car cockpit has gone through the mechanical and electronic stages, that is, the traditional cockpit period. Now it has entered the intelligent assistant stage, that is, biometric technology will be applied in the cockpit to enhance the vehicle's perception capabilities and the iterative functions of the driver monitoring system. With the development of high-level autonomous driving, breakthroughs have been made in voice control and gesture control technology at the L2 stage, achieving refined vehicle perception and better human-computer interaction functions.

 Finally, as autonomous driving enters the L3 stage, the smart cockpit will finally be fully upgraded to a mobile "third space" around cockpit electronics and cockpit interiors, and information, entertainment, interconnection and other functions will be fully integrated to provide consumers with a more convenient experience. Cars will no longer be a means of transportation. Users can realize entertainment and office work in the car. Cars are expected to evolve into a third living space outside of home and office places.
