    Accessible Automated Automotive Workshop Series (A3WS): Focus External Human-Machine Interfaces (eHMIs)
    (Mensch und Computer 2022 - Workshopband, 2022) Haimerl, Mathias; Colley, Mark; Löcken, Andreas; Riener, Andreas
    With modernizing traffic, a rise of automated vehicles (AVs) is expected. As AVs potentially need to communicate their intentions, external human-machine interfaces (eHMIs) seem to be an appropriate solution. While automotive research progresses quickly, people with special needs (PSN) are vastly underrepresented. With an aging population due to demographic changes and advances in medical treatments and with the stride towards equality and accessibility, the needs of these groups also have to be considered in the automotive domain. We provide an inclusive platform for interdisciplinary exchange on current and future topics, especially for academia, industry, and politics. This enables different perspectives with particular (but not exclusive) regard to user experience (UX) and psychology, product design, legislative concerns and, thus, support the communication and potentially founding of new topic streams. The aim is to create new interdisciplinary networks and collaborations to make future developments on vehicle-to-human (V2H) communication more inclusive.

    Blinded by novelty: a reflection on participant curiosity and novelty in automated vehicle studies based on experiences from the field
    (Mensch und Computer 2020 - Tagungsband, 2020) Mirnig, Alexander G.; Gärtner, Magdalena; Meschtscherjakov, Alexander; Tscheligi, Manfred
    Interacting with a novel technology or a known technology in a novel context can influence a user's interaction with said technology in both a positive or negative way. Research is often primarily interested in capturing interaction under regular conditions, rendering such influences less desirable. Depending on the actual novelty of any given technology, such halo or novelty effects might be weaker or stronger, and thereby more difficult to mitigate. In this paper, we want to share a number of experiences related to participant curiosity and technology novelty in interaction with automated vehicles. We intend to use our experiences from several studies to open the discussion on a potential underestimation of technology novelty and its effects on user research in vehicle automation technology and want to particularly highlight the role, researchers, manufacturers, and media play in shaping such effects.

    Deriving Non-Driving-Related Activities in Highly Automated Driving via an Autoethnographic Approach by Traveling Canada in a Recreational Vehicle
    (Proceedings of Mensch und Computer 2024, 2024) Stampf, Annika; Colley, Mark
    Automated vehicles will alter traffic fundamentally. Users can engage in various activities, such as working, reading, or sleeping. However, based on these activities, there are challenges and opportunities to adapt the vehicle, possibly transforming these into “tiny houses”. Some activities will most likely be conducted, especially those already undertaken, such as making phone calls or listening to music. However, there are limited possibilities to derive activities occurring in longer trips or with a high level of automation. Therefore, we propose to derive non-driving-related activities based on a 12-day trip in a camper as a surrogate for prolonged exposure to automated driving. We report the autoethnographic results of our experiences and deduce relevant future research questions. We highlight the possibility of employing Vanlife as a method to study these upcoming challenges.

    Trust in Automated Vehicles
    (i-com: Vol. 17, No. 1, 2018) Mirnig, Alexander G.; Trösterer, Sandra; Meschtscherjakov, Alexander; Gärtner, Magdalena; Tscheligi, Manfred
    Increasing degrees of automation in on-road vehicles bear great potential for heightened driver safety and traffic efficiency in both the near and far future. The more the driver delegates control to the vehicle, the more salient the issue of trust in automated technology becomes. Misaligned trust can lead to mishandling of automation controls in individual instances and decreases the general acceptance of on-road automation on a broader scale. In this paper, we apply insights from trust research for dynamic web service interaction to the novel automated driving domain, in order to scope the problem space regarding trust in automated vehicles. We conclude that the appropriate communication of trustworthiness, the necessity to calibrate trust, the importance of intervention capabilities by the driver, and the unambiguous transparency of locus of control are all important aspects when in comes to understanding trust in automated vehicles.
