Summary
Survey and review of the literature on the impact of explanations on attitudes toward adopting automated vehicles (AVs). The authors examine what has been done with regard to AV explanations, discuss findings on explanation content and timing, and identify several important future research directions. Published in IEEE Access; the graphical abstract summarizes the impacts of explanation content and timing on AV outcomes.
Key finding
AV explanations can promote trust and acceptance, but answers to basic questions about whether or when explanations are effective remain unclear; the review synthesizes existing literature and identifies future research directions.
