Workshop on Human-Vehicle-Environment Cooperation in Automated driving: The Next Stage of a Classic Topic

Abstract

It appears that autonomous systems are replacing human in the driving task. However, autonomous driving abilities do not mean that vehicles should not interact with their drivers/passengers or their environment anymore. There are still many scenarios where either the automated system cannot handle the driving very well, or human wants to spontaneously influence the behavior of the system to meet their preferences. Thus, beyond the hype of autonomous driving, a large space opens for human-vehicle cooperation at a different level of automated driving. As this topic draws more attention both by academia and industry, we organize this workshop to in-depth identify potential research opportunities of it under the latest technology of automated driving. In this workshop, participants will discuss the motivations of driver/passenger's intervention, generate the use cases of cooperative driving, and explore means of cooperation and interaction that human and vehicle would exchange intent smoothly. It is expected that the workshop will consolidate existing knowledge of human-vehicle-environment cooperation and provide insight for future works.
