A Method for Maintaining Sense of agency Using Auditory Feedback During Cooperative Driving

Abstract

In cooperative driving, in which the driver takes the initiative in driving and the system provides constant assistance, it has been reported that as the strength of the system's assistance increases, the sense of agency decreases. Using a driving simulator, we verified the effectiveness of the proposed auditory feedback during cooperative driving by using a task of deceleration when following a slow-moving vehicle in front. As a result, it was confirmed that auditory feedback tended to maintain or improve the median evaluation of sense of agency. In addition, the auditory feedback tended to reduce the variance, especially under conditions where the intervention rate was low.
