ABSTRACT
We present an interaction scenario-based design space for autonomous vehicles (AVs) and external road users (ERU)s, emphasizing the gaps and fragmented approach in current standards development. We first provide an overview of research in AV-ERU interactions and ongoing standards and policy development efforts. We then outline the AV-ERU ecosystem and identify key information modes that encapsulate potential interaction scenarios, such as states, intent, and responses of AVs. We describe the elements of the design space, including the interfaces, interactors and agents, modalities of interaction, and design considerations. We demonstrate the application of our design space and map existing standards to highlight its significance as a comprehensive tool for future standards development. We discuss the need for collaborative efforts among stakeholders to expedite and reduce bias in the establishment of standards.
