IntroductionAlthough autonomous driving technology has advanced, limited public acceptance remains a major barrier. Moving beyond studies focused on isolated design domains, this study examined whether the perceived typicality of stylistic cues across automated driving behavior, vehicle interior design, and human–machine interface (HMI) presentation is associated with autonomous vehicle acceptanc…

The ANA Avatar XPRIZE was a four-year competition to develop a robotic “avatar” system to allow a human operator to sense, communicate, and act in a remote environment as though physically present. The competition featured a unique requirement that judges would operate the avatars after less than one hour of training on the human-machine interfaces, and avatar systems were judged on both objectiv…

As machines become more intelligent, they become embedded in countless facets of life. In some ways, they can act almost as full-fledged members in human-machine teams. In such cases, as with any team, trust is a necessary ingredient for good performance. But the dynamics of trust between people and machines are not yet well-understood. With […]
