Abstract

This research approach deals with rational methods for generating explanations provided by autonomous vehicles. The first part concerns a new model for generating explanation content. In the second part, we describe a method for providing explanations at time instants demanding less cognitive workload using game theory.

Supported by Research Training Group (RTG) “Social Embeddedness of Autonomous Cyber Physical Systems” (SEAS) at Universität Oldenburg.
