Autonomous Vehicle Testing Guidance for State & City DOTs
Once in a while I’m contacted by a city or state Department of Transportation (DOT) to provide advice on safety for “self-driving” car testing. (Generally that means public road testing […]
A model for naturalistic glance behavior around Tesla Autopilot disengagements
Objective We present a model for visual behavior that can simulate the glance pattern observed around driver-initiated, non-critical disengagements of Tesla’s Autopilot (AP) in naturalistic highway driving. Background Drivers may […]
Ethics of automated vehicles: breaking traffic rules for road safety
In this paper, we explore and describe what is needed to allow connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) to break traffic rules in order to minimise road safety risk and to […]
Law Enforcement, First Responder and Crash Investigation Preparation for Automated Vehicle Technology
GHSA’s new report examines how law enforcement officials, other first responders and crash scene investigators can better prepare for automated vehicle technology and outlines curriculum recommendations to improve training on […]
Fully Autonomous Vehicles for People with Visual Impairment: Policy, Accessibility, and Future Directions
A significant number of individuals in the United States report a disability that limits their ability to travel, including many people who are blind or visually impaired (BVI). The implications […]
Rejecting acceptance: learning from public dialogue on self-driving vehicles
The investment and excitement surrounding self-driving vehicles are huge. We know from earlier transport innovations that technological transitions can reshape lives, livelihoods, and places in profound ways. There is therefore […]
