“…As drivers delegate driving tasks to vehicles, they have to take a new role in observing traffic conditions and the status of the vehicles. To address this emerging role of drivers, the concept of shared authority between vehicles and drivers has been proposed in a series of reports from the US Department of Transportation [2][3][4]. According to the concept, vehicles perform driving tasks while drivers monitor the functioning state of vehicles.…”

Future vehicles are becoming more like driving partners instead of mere machines. With the application of advanced information and communication technologies (ICTs), vehicles perform driving tasks while drivers monitor the functioning states of vehicles. This change in interaction requires a deliberate consideration of how vehicles should present driving-related information. As a way of encouraging drivers to more readily accept instructions from vehicles, we suggest the use of social rules, such as politeness, in human-vehicle interaction. In a 2 × 2 between-subjects experiment, we test the effects of vehicle politeness (plain vs. polite) on drivers’ interaction experiences in two operation situations (normal vs. failure). The results indicate that vehicle politeness improves interaction experience in normal working situations but impedes the experience in failure situations. Specifically, in normal situations, vehicles with polite instructions are highly evaluated for social presence, politeness, satisfaction and intention to use. Theoretical and practical implications on politeness research and speech interaction design are discussed.

“…Researchers have tested driver-vehicle interactions with AVs on controlled roads to explore human factors issues specific to autonomy, most notably for hand-offs and mode selection [6,7]. There have also been numerous studies on precursor systems, like collision warning, driver assistance, and lane keeping systems (e.g.…”

Autonomous vehicles have been in development for nearly thirty years and recently have begun to operate in real-world, uncontrolled settings. With such advances, more widespread research and evaluation of human interaction with autonomous vehicles (AV) is necessary. Here, we present an interview study of 32 pedestrians who have interacted with Uber AVs. Our findings are focused on understanding and trust of AVs, perceptions of AVs and artificial intelligence, and how the perception of a brand affects these constructs. We found an inherent relationship between favorable perceptions of technology and feelings of trust toward AVs. Trust in AVs was also influenced by a favorable interpretation of the company's brand and facilitated by knowledge about what AV technology is and how it might fit into everyday life. To our knowledge, this paper is the first to surface AV-related interview data from pedestrians in a natural, real-world setting.

“…The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of North America (NHTSA) [43], has highlighted five separate levels of vehicular automation. While automated vehicle development is still in its infancy, the automation levels set out by the NHTSA's policy statement have subsequently been adopted in a number of automotive human factors research studies [14,24,37]. Level 0 is defined as the human driver having total control of the vehicle's primary controls at all times.…”

Automated vehicles seek to relieve the human driver from primary driving tasks, but this substantially diminishes the connection between driver and vehicle compared to manual operation. At present, automated vehicles lack any form of continual, appropriate feedback to re-establish this connection and offer a feeling of control. We suggest that auditory feedback can be used to support the driver in this context. A preliminary field study that explored how drivers respond to existing auditory feedback in manual vehicles was first undertaken. We then designed a set of abstract, synthesised sounds presented spatially around the driver, known as Spatial Earcons, that represented different primary driving sounds e.g. acceleration. To evaluate their effectiveness, we undertook a driving simulator study in an outdoor setting using a real vehicle. Spatial Earcons performed as well as Existing Vehicle Sounds during automated and manual driving scenarios. Subjective responses suggested Spatial Earcons produced an engaging driving experience. This paper argues that entirely new synthesised primary driving sounds, such as Spatial Earcons, can be designed for automated vehicles to replace Existing Vehicle Sounds. This creates new possibilities for presenting primary driving information in automated vehicles using auditory feedback, in order to re-establish a connection between driver and vehicle.  CCS Concepts: • Human-centered computing → Human computer interaction (HCI) → Interaction techniques → Auditory feedback; •HCI design and evaluation methods → User studies;
