Whose Drive Is It Anyway? Using Multiple Sequential Drives to Establish Patterns of Learned Trust, Error Cost, and Non-Active Trust Repair While Considering Daytime and Nighttime Differences as a Proxy for Difficulty
<p>Semi-autonomous driving is a complex task domain with a broad range of problems to consider. The human operator’s role in semi-autonomous driving is crucial because safety and performance depends on how the operator interacts with the system. Drive difficulty has not been extensively studied in …

Assessing Alternate Approaches for Conveying Automated Vehicle Intentions
… the general public has a lack of faith in highly automated vehicles (HAV) stems from a lack of system transparency while in motion (e.g., the user not being informed on roadway perception or anticipated responses of the car in certain situations). This problem is particularly prevalent in public …
