Towards Work in Automated Vehicles

Towards Work in Automated Vehicles

In this position paper we describe our work investigating an important promise of automated vehicles: that they can help drivers reclaim the time they spend traveling, and allow them to spend some of this time engaged in work or wellbeing-related tasks. Our goal is to create systems that will allow drivers to safely engage in work, or wellbeing-related activities, in automated vehicles. These systems will serve as embodied intelligent cognitive assistants and will combine tangible and voice interaction with augmented reality interfaces. Here we describe some designs considerations and early prototypes.
