Study on input devices for lane changing in self-driving car

~The appropriate of device operation methods according to driving experience~

Abstract

We have been investigating in-vehicle input devices that can be used when the driver requests the automated driving system to change lanes, or when the system proposes a lane change to the driver and the driver accepts or rejects the request. In the previous study, it was suggested that experimental participants with driving experience would select the device operation method based on their driving experience. In this study, we examined whether the vice-operation method, which was highly evaluated in the previous study, would be accepted by the participants without driving experience in anticipation of the spread of automated vehicles.
