Abstract

Automated driving has many potential benefits, such as improving driving safety and reducing drivers workload. However, from a human factors perspective, there are many issues that need to be addressed in order to facilitate the transition of control between automation and human drivers. In this study, we analyzed 102 YouTube videos about autonomous vehicles and identified the main topics discussed by viewers. We found that the topic of automation capability awareness received many more positive comments than both negative and neutral comments while the distributions of positive, negative, and neutral comments were fairly even in other topics. People had extreme positive and negative opinions on non-driving related tasks. We discussed possible design recommendations to facilitate takeover transitions.
