Toward Human-Vehicle Collaboration for Automated Vehicles: A Review and Perspective

The human-vehicle collaboration in automated vehicles is an effective transitional means to overcome the difficulty of rapidly transitioning to a highly automated level of intelligence. Furthermore, it can fully leverage the strengths of both drivers and autonomous driving systems, embodying a design philosophy of human-centered. Therefore, this paper provides a review and perspectives of the human-vehicle collaboration for automated vehicles. First, the concept, forms and methods of human-vehicle collaboration are reviewed. Then, a human-vehicle mutual trust collaboration framework based on complementary advantages of humans and vehicles and brain-like intelligence is proposed. Specifically, the framework focuses on driver behavior understanding and brain-like cognitive decision planning. After that, the methods of driver behavior understanding and brain-like cognitive decision planning are summarized. Finally, challenges and future works are analyzed to contribute the develop of understandable, trustable, and acceptable human-vehicle collaboration systems.
