Abstract The potential benefits of autonomous vehicles, including safety, convenience, fuel economy, and low emissions can only be achieved when consumers are comfortable with the vehicle design. There are only a limited number of user studies in the design of future autonomous vehicles, owing to the difficulties of shifting focus “from the present to the future.” An integrated method of simulator study and user enactment was applied in the research to bridge the gap between the current and the future. Thirty drivers participated in the study to experience enacted driving scenarios in an autonomous vehicle simulator. The participants were divided into two groups, i.e., driving-alone drivers and driving-with-a-passenger drivers, to investigate the effect of passenger presence. Rich data were elicited about possible in-vehicle activities, the corresponding requirements of information and functions to support any such activities. Also identified were the preferred methods of interacting with the information and functions. Passenger presence was found to have an influence on the attributes of activities undertaken as well as the preferences for in-vehicle information and functions. Dominant themes were identified in future autonomous vehicle designs, including a more flexible and adaptive design language, concerns of trust and safety, and trade-offs between safety and convenience and between privacy and social connection. Based on the findings, design implications for future autonomous vehicles are discussed.

调查用户活动以及对未来自动驾驶汽车中信息和功能的相应要求

摘要 自动驾驶汽车的潜在优势，包括安全性、便利性、燃油经济性和低排放，只有在消费者对汽车设计感到满意时才能实现。由于难以将重点“从现在转移到未来”，因此在未来自动驾驶汽车的设计中进行的用户研究数量有限。在研究中应用了模拟器研究和用户制定的综合方法，以弥合当前和未来之间的差距。30 名驾驶员参与了这项研究，以在自动驾驶汽车模拟器中体验模拟的驾驶场景。参与者被分为两组，即单独驾驶的司机和与乘客一起驾驶的司机，以调查乘客在场的影响。获得了关于可能的车内活动的丰富数据，支持任何此类活动的信息和功能的相应要求。还确定了与信息和功能交互的首选方法。发现乘客的存在对所进行的活动的属性以及对车载信息和功能的偏好有影响。在未来的自动驾驶汽车设计中确定了主要主题，包括更灵活和适应性的设计语言、信任和安全的问题，以及安全和便利之间以及隐私和社会联系之间的权衡。根据研究结果，讨论了对未来自动驾驶汽车的设计影响。发现乘客的存在对所进行的活动的属性以及对车载信息和功能的偏好有影响。在未来的自动驾驶汽车设计中确定了主要主题，包括更灵活和适应性的设计语言、信任和安全的问题，以及安全和便利之间以及隐私和社会联系之间的权衡。根据研究结果，讨论了对未来自动驾驶汽车的设计影响。发现乘客的存在对所进行的活动的属性以及对车载信息和功能的偏好有影响。在未来的自动驾驶汽车设计中确定了主要主题，包括更灵活和适应性的设计语言、信任和安全的问题，以及安全和便利之间以及隐私和社会联系之间的权衡。根据研究结果，讨论了对未来自动驾驶汽车的设计影响。安全性和便利性以及隐私和社会联系之间的权衡。根据研究结果，讨论了对未来自动驾驶汽车的设计影响。安全性和便利性以及隐私和社会联系之间的权衡。根据研究结果，讨论了对未来自动驾驶汽车的设计影响。
