About Paper:

Human-autonomy teaming (HAT) is a rapidly emerging research field that seeks to combine human and artificial intelligence (AI) agent capabilities to enhance performance, efficiency, and safety of mutual tasks across various domains. In the driving context, the idea of a driver 'teaming' with a semi-autonomous vehicle (AV) is a fairly novel concept. However, this framing could significantly help to shape the design of highly autonomous vehicles, thereby promote safety in surface transportation systems. To date, there have been no investigations of whether drivers of semi-AVs perceive their vehicles to be teammates or simply intelligent tools. To address this research gap, in this study, we develop and deploy an online survey via a crowdsourcing platform to identify potential barriers preventing current owners of SAE Levels 2 and 3 (conditionally automated vehicles) from seeing themselves as teammates with their semi-AVs. The survey will present questions pertaining to general driving experiences and behaviors, perceptions of driver roles when using semi-AVs, and current and desired in- vehicle communication formats and interface designs. Findings from this survey can provide valuable insights into the psychology of drivers of semi-AVs, which can ultimately support the development of collaborative strategies in driving.
