NEW PROJECT
• NES 2012
– Presented a developed method for evaluating driving
performance
– Stas Krupenia representing SCANIA AB (trucks)
asked ”what if the vehicles are autonomous”
• MODAS – Methods for Designing Autonomous

LEVELS OF AUTOMATED DRIVING
• Assisting features
– Cruise control
– ABS-breaking
–…
• Semi-autonomous driving
– The car direct or take over action when needed
• Autonomous driving
– The car is capable of sensing its environment and
navigating without human input
“THE SELF-DRIVING CAR IS LESS THAN
A DECADE AWAY”

General Motors, www.autoguide.com

MEANING, KITT WILL BECAME REALITY
• Autonomous car in Knight Rider, 1982
ALREADY HISTORY (AS DEMO CARS)
• 1926: Achen Motor demonstrated the radio-controlled "phantom
motor car" at the streets of Milwaukee
• …
• 1960: RCA Corporation demonstrated a driverless car which drove
on an "electronic highway" – a road with electronics built into the
asphalt that could determine the presence and velocity of any
metallic vehicle on its surface.
• …
• 2001: the US Government demonstrated the ability of unmanned
ground vehicles to navigate miles of difficult off-road terrain,
avoiding obstacles such as rocks and trees.
• …
• Today there are several autonomous demonstration cars
ONE EXAMPLE…

THE FUTURE IS CLOSE
THE FUTURE IS CLOSE
The 2014 Mercedes S-Class will have
the option of autonomous steering,
breaking, lane guidance, accident
avoidance, and driver fatigue detection
THE FUTURE IS CLOSE
The 2014 Mercedes S-Class will have
the option of autonomous steering,
breaking, lane guidance, accident
avoidance, and driver fatigue detection
By 2020 Volvo expects accident-freecars and ”road trains” in which individual
cars are electronically guided by a driver
in a lead vehicle
THE GOALS WITH AUTOMATED DRIVING
• Increase driving safety
• Increase environmental savings
• And to make it alright to send that SMS…
NEGATIVE EFFECTS UNKNOWN
• New systems designed to support and help
could also cause problems
– Cruise-control make drivers passive and affect their
break reaktion time negativelly
• Automation systems will change the role of the
driver from active to passive
– How passive is OK? Is it OK to fall asleep?
How should autonomous systems be evaluated,
what are the possible negative effects???
MEASURING PERFORMANCE

Lane keeping
Break reaktion time

• Evaluation measures of today:

–
Lane keeping - the car is steering

OUR CHALLANGE
• Define the new driver role
• Define critical situations
• Develop new test methods
•
•
•
•
•
Situation awareness?
Drowsiness?
Alertness?
Trust?
…
•
•
•
•
Trustworthiness?
Guessability?
Usability?
