About

With the fast progress in AI algorithms and their implementations in the automated vehicle (AV) area, highly automated cars become more mature and closer to people’s daily lives. At the same time, public attitude towards and acceptance of the new technologies play an essential role in their implementation. Trust in AI is a widely known issue in human-AI interaction, and in automated driving, maintaining appropriate level of trust in the AI-enabled vehicle system is the key for the acceptance and safe use of automated cars. Either over-trust or under-trust is undesirable as they may lead to misuse or disuse of the system. As a result, trust needs to be calibrated, which refers to the requirement that the human’s trust in the AI should match the AI’s true capabilities. Many factors can affect trust, and the theories and applications to calibrate trust in AV are prosperous in different research communities, such as intelligent transportation systems, psychology, human factors, computer science/AI, robotics/human-robot interaction, just to name a few.

Feedback is the most efficient and effective method to increase AV decision making transparency and facilitates the construction of an appropriate level of trust. Relevant research in feedback design, considering the feedback modality, interface design, feedback contents, feedback timing, and underneath psychological and behavioural theories, has drawn significant attention in recent years. As one on-going research area, many new theories and results are being actively proposed.

A successful solution to the trust in AV issue requires interdisciplinary collaborations among researchers from various domains. This workshop tries to bring together the researchers from Human Factors and Ergonomics Society (HFES), American Psychological Association (APA), and the Special Interest Group on Computer–Human Interaction in the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM SIGCHI) with the IEEE Intelligent Transportation System society on the key issues of trust calibration and feedback development of human-centered automated driving systems. We also aim to foster collaborations and mentorship relationships that last beyond the workshop.
