Human factors in autonomous vehicle development

A new Automotive World report considers perhaps the most important aspect of autonomous vehicle development: the people using those vehicles

Special report: Human factors in autonomous vehicle development

The development of autonomous vehicles is putting a fresh spin on the science of human factors. All stakeholders need to understand how people interact with a vehicle that drives itself, and their priorities and concerns in this new environment. Instead of marketing horsepower and torque, automakers may soon be touting download speeds and seating configurations.

If people feel the autonomous vehicles on offer are unsafe, uncomfortable or unable to deliver an enjoyable ride, they simply won’t climb aboard—and that will be a major problem for the automotive industry.
