Man vs. Machine: A Documentary About Automated Driving In 2018 Somewhere In Bavaria

Abstract

The shift from manual to automated driving has been one of the most focused research topics in the AutomotiveUI community in recent years. User acceptance and experience was extensively discussed in surveys and simulator studies, however, naturalistic driving studies are still rare. Now, in 2018, we had the chance to test the first authorized automated vehicle (shuttle bus service) in Germany driving in regular traffic. Our video aims to be suggestive of our study setup, in which we compared users' acceptance and experience as a passenger in an automated driving versus a manual driven vehicle. In this video paper, we provide first insights into our results.
