International Workshop on Comfort Intelligence with AR for Autonomous Vehicle 2018

摘要

Many researchers and companies have been developing technologies for autonomous vehicle. Most technologies are focused on safety control and efficient path planning of autonomous driving. To accept autonomous vehicle socially, a comfort of passenger who is driver being free from driving is one of important issues. Passengers of autonomous vehicle feel discomfort when the vehicle behaves unexpectedly or moves on unexpected path. In addition, the problem of motion sickness will be increased in autonomous vehicle because the passenger will not be able to understand the behavior of the vehicle. In near future, since a windscreen of autonomous vehicle will become an AR display, it is expected that the problems of a VR sickness will be increased too. For these reasons, there will be many discomfort factors of passengers in autonomous vehicle. This workshop focuses on technologies for improvement of passenger's comfort in autonomous vehicle, such as sensing methods of passengers and environment, AR technology, AR user interface and AR display in autonomous vehicle.
