ABSTRACT
With progress in enabling autonomous cars to drive safely on the road, it is time to start asking how they should be driving. A common answer is that they should be adopting their users' driving style. This makes the assumption that users want their autonomous cars to drive like they drive - aggressive drivers want aggressive cars, defensive drivers want defensive cars. In this paper, we put that assumption to the test. We find that users tend to prefer a significantly more defensive driving style than their own. Interestingly, they prefer the style they think is their own, even though their actual driving style tends to be more aggressive. We also find that preferences do depend on the specific driving scenario, opening the door for new ways of learning driving style preference.

Dashboard Design for an Autonomous Car
AutomotiveUI '14: Adjunct Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Automotive User Interfaces and Interactive Vehicular ApplicationsIn a fully autonomous car - steering, deceleration and acceleration are completely controlled by the intelligence built into it. This leads to a major change in user experience as the driver needs different information and is less involved in the driving ...
Using Multimodal Displays to Signify Critical Handovers of Control to Distracted Autonomous Car Drivers
Until full autonomy is achieved in cars, drivers will still be expected to take over control of driving, and critical warnings will be essential. This paper presents a comparison of abstract versus language-based multimodal warnings signifying handovers ...
