This paper surveys the haptic technologies deployed in cars and their uses to enhance
drivers' safety during manual driving. These technologies enable to deliver haptic (tactile or …

Automotive user interfaces constantly change due to increasing automation, novel features,
additional applications, and user demands. While in-vehicle interaction can utilize numerous …

When a highly automated car reaches its operational limits, it needs to provide a take-over
request (TOR) in order for the driver to resume control. The aim of this simulator-based study …

Self-driving vehicles are able to drive on their own as long as the requirements of their
autonomous systems are met. If the system reaches the boundary of its capabilities, the …

This paper presents a first evaluation of multimodal language-based warnings for handovers
of control in autonomous cars. A set of possible handover situations varying in urgency is …

An important research question in the domain of highly automated driving is how to aid
drivers in transitions between manual and automated control. Until highly automated cars …

Take-over situations in highly automated driving occur when drivers have to take over
vehicle control due to automation shortcomings. Due to high visual processing demand of …

We present an assistive suitcase system, BBeep, for supporting blind people when walking
through crowded environments. BBeep uses pre-emptive sound notifications to help clear a …

As long as automated vehicles are not able to handle driving in every possible situation,
drivers will still have to take part in the driving task from time to time. Recent research …

Semi-autonomous vehicles occasionally require control to be handed over to the driver in
situations where the vehicle is unable to operate safely. Currently, such handover requests …
