Human-Centered Autonomous Vehicle Systems: Principles of Effective Shared Autonomy

Building effective, enjoyable, and safe autonomous vehicles is a lot harder has historically been considered. The reason is that, simply put, an vehicle must interact with human beings. This interaction is not a problem nor a machine learning problem nor a psychology problem nor an problem nor a policy problem. It is all of these problems put into. It challenges our assumptions about the limitations of human beings at worst and the capabilities of artificial intelligence systems at their. This work proposes a set of principles for designing and building vehicles in a human-centered way that does not run away from the of human nature but instead embraces it. We describe our development the Human-Centered Autonomous Vehicle (HCAV) as an illustrative case study implementing these principles in practice.
