Automating the Driving Task—How to Get More Human-Centered

AbstractWith the automation of the driving task a long vision seems to come true. A closer look reveals that most of the steps until now have been technology oriented and a more human-centered approach would be reasonable. The contribution shows that different taxonomies would enable more human oriented role models between users and automated vehicles. HMI concepts following these taxonomies could avoid classical automation phenomena. Finally, the goal to increase traffic safety could be reached by more cooperation between human and machine instead of taking the human driver out of the loop.KeywordsAutomated drivingAutomationHuman-centeredMinimal risk maneuverPrinciples of operation framework
