Abstract

Automated vehicles (AVs) promise to change the future of transportation, offering unprecedented benefits, from increased safety to enhanced efficiency. However, the realization of these advantages depends on user trust in the technology. While there is widespread agreement on the pivotal role of trust, numerous questions persist. In this Research Topic, we present 15 studies addressing some of the most important issues, in particular:

1) What is trust and how should we measure it?

2) How does trust affect in-vehicle user responses?

3) How do Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs) affect trust toward AVs?

4) How can we improve interactions between AVs and pedestrians?
