Anything short of full automation will require driver involvement in ways and at times that may be unpredictable. This unpredictability creates uncertainty, resulting in the confusion, slowed responses, and errors seen in both controlled research studies and real-world driver performance. How can the human factors community help manufacturers design AV technology in a way that meets driver expectations, is easy-to-use, and generates the required levels of system safety and trust? Our presentation will outline a series of potential design strategies that can help address some of the challenges with imperfect automation, guide the AV industry towards a driver-centric approach to AV design, and produce more effective driver-vehicle interactions.
