Bidirectional Consensus-Seeking Human-Automation Interactions in Traffic Environments — NSF Award to University of Wisconsin-Madis

Many vehicles today feature automation to assist or replace human drivers, but fully autonomous systems requiring minimal human input are still years away. As a result, human drivers and automated vehicles (AVs) frequently interact, leading to driver interventions. While most research focuses on over-reliance on AVs, t

AbstractMany vehicles today feature automation to assist or replace human drivers, but fully autonomous systems requiring minimal human input are still years away. As a result, human drivers and automated vehicles (AVs) frequently interact, leading to driver interventions. While most research focuses on over-reliance on AVs, this project supports research that attempts to address a different issue: driver-initiated takeovers, which occur when AV behavior does not match driver preferences.
