A Framework for Analyzing and Calibrating Trust in Automated Vehicles

When predicting the traffic of the future and the acceptance of automated vehicles, we often like to assume that one of the major challenges will be to foster overall trust in automated vehicles for effective and safe mixed-traffic operations. In this paper, we propose a more faceted viewpoint and argue for the benefits of -- and provide an initial framework for --calibrated trust by fostering trust and distrust in automated vehicles. If drivers know exactly what their vehicle is and is not capable of, then they are more likely to react properly and be prepared when handover requests or other unexpected circumstances might occur.
