To Please in a Pod: Employing an Anthropomorphic Agent-Interlocutor to Enhance Trust and User Experience in an Autonomous, Self-Driving Vehicle
David R. Large,Kyle Harrington,Gary Burnett,Jacob Luton,Peter Thomas,Pete Bennett +5 more
- 21 Sep 2019
TL;DR: The study explores whether passengers in an autonomous vehicle display similar behaviour during transactions with an on-board conversational agent-interface; moreover, whether related attributes transcend to the vehicle itself.
"It's small talk, jim, but not as we know it.": engendering trust through human-agent conversation in an autonomous, self-driving car
David R. Large,Leigh Clark,Gary Burnett,Kyle Harrington,Jacob Luton,Peter Thomas,Pete Bennett +6 more
- 22 Aug 2019
TL;DR: Whether the presence of conversation could, in and of itself, engender trust in the technology, based on the authors' understanding of speech in humans is explored, and emergent, trust-related themes were identified.
Pedestrian Decision-Making Responses to External Human-Machine Interface Designs for Autonomous Vehicles

TL;DR: Examination of pedestrian attitudes and road-crossing intentions using a real autonomous vehicle (AV) in an indoor arena provided insight into pedestrians' safety concerns towards a vehicle where bi-directional communication with a driver is no longer possible.
Pedestrian attitudes to shared-space interactions with autonomous vehicles – a virtual reality study

- 01 Jan 2019
TL;DR: In this paper, pedestrian attitudes and road-crossing intentions were examined using a real autonomous vehicle (AV) in an indoor arena and two conceptual external human-machine interfaces (HMIs) were presented to display the vehicle's manoeuvring intentions.
