Looking at Humans in the Age of Self-Driving and Highly Automated Vehicles

This paper highlights the role of humans in the next generation of driver assistance and intelligent vehicles. Understanding, modeling, and predicting human agents are discussed in three domains where humans and highly automated or self-driving vehicles interact: 1) inside the vehicle cabin, 2) around the vehicle, and 3) inside surrounding vehicles. Efforts within each domain, integrative frameworks across domains, and scientific tools required for future developments are discussed to provide a human-centered perspective on research in intelligent vehicles.
