Update: Thank you for your response to our study! We still need more participants — specifically, dads and daughters! If you’re a Dad or a teen daughter whose Dad would be willing to participate in a fun, educational research project, please contact us!!!
The TRIP Lab is currently recruiting teens and parents for a new study, Autonomous Driving Across the Lifespan (AUTOSPAN)!
AUTOSPAN is a study examining the perceptions of autonomous vehicle (AV) technologies and performance with a completely self-driving system among teenagers and their parents.
As advances in automated systems bring the widespread use of autonomous vehicles closer to reality, relevant human issues must be examined. Autonomous vehicles have the potential to increase the mobility of older, injured, or disabled drivers; provide safe transportation for drowsy, intoxicated, or otherwise cognitively impaired individuals; and eliminate potential human errors in several other contexts. For the introduction of autonomous vehicles (especially those at the fully self-driving level) to be successful in the real world driving environments, autonomous technology will need to be capable of predicting and negotiating with the movements and intentions of human drivers, and, in turn, users will need to understand the limitations of autonomous technology.
