Human trust calibration for autonomous driving agent of vehicle

Abstract:

An autonomous driving agent is provided. The autonomous driving agent determines a set of observations from sensor information of a sensor system of a vehicle. The set of observations includes human attention information for a scene of surrounding environment and a level of human reliance as indicated by human inputs to the autonomous driving agent. The autonomous driving agent estimates, based on the set of observations, belief states for a first state of human trust on the autonomous driving agent and a second state of human's cognitive workload during journey. The autonomous driving agent selects, based on the estimated belief states, a first value for a first action associated with a level of automation transparency between a human user and the autonomous driving agent and controls a display system based on the selected first value to display a cue for calibration of the human trust on the autonomous driving agent.
