Abstract

Human drivers will be driving with autonomous vehicles for a long time during the transition to fully automated driving. Recent studies revealed the inability of autonomous vehicle to “socialize” with other human road users. In this paper, we try to provide insights for developing socially acceptable autonomous vehicles through observing human’s strategy for dealing with traffic encounters. We suggest that autonomous vehicles should be empowered with the ability to understand human partners and the ability to percept context, so that it could fit in social road.
