Recent automotive research often focuses on automated driving, including the interaction
between automated vehicles (AVs) and so-called “vulnerable road users”(VRUs). While …

Passengers of automated vehicles will likely engage in non-driving related activities like
reading and, therefore, be disengaged from the driving task. However, especially in critical …

Autonomous vehicles carry the potential to greatly improve mobility and safety in traffic.
However, this technology has to be accepted and of value for the intended users. One …

It seems that autonomous driving systems are substituting human responsibilities in the
driving task. However, this does not mean that vehicles should not interact with their driver …

Currently, a significant gap exists between academic and industrial research in automated
driving development. Despite this, there is common sense that cooperative control …

With automated driving, vehicles are no longer just tools but become teammates, which
enable an increasing space of new interaction possibilities. By changing the relationship …

Automated vehicles are about to enter the mass market. However, such systems regularly
meet limitations of varying criticality. Even basic tasks such as Object Identification can be …

Minor violations of traffic regulations are common today and partially socially accepted.
Automated vehicles (AVs), however, will be obliged to keep to the letter of the law. This can …

Abstract Convolutional Neural Networks have achieved state-of-the-art performance in
image classification. Their lack of ability to recognise the spatial relationship between …

Automated vehicles will change the interaction with the user drastically. While freeing the
user of the driving task for most of the journey, the" final 100 meters problem'', directing the …
