To trust or not to trust? : assessment and calibration of driver trust in automated vehicles

In the present study, we examined if drivers' trust towards cars equipped with Level 2 automated systems changed after on-road experience.Drivers' self-reported trust was assessed three times: before having experience with these vehicles, immediately after driving two types of vehicles, and two weeks after the driving experience.Analysis of the results showed major changes in trust scores after the on-road driving experience.Before experiencing the vehicles, participants tended to overestimate the vehicle capabilities.Afterwards they had a better understanding of vehicles' limitations, resulting in better calibrated trust.
