Handovers and Resumption of Control in Semi-Autonomous Vehicles

摘要

The operating of semi-autonomous vehicles foresees so-called handovers, which refers to the transition of control from driver to vehicle or vice-versa. While the initiation and respective signaling of such handovers is actively being researched and worked on, the transition back to vehicle or driver after a certain driving task has been completed, sees considerably less attention. Clarity in communicating resumption of control is important to avoiding conflicts between driver and vehicle, which could result in road accidents. In this paper, we draw from the field of robotics to inform solutions to communicate resumption of control for automotive interaction design.
