Designing a Guardian Angel: Giving an Automated Vehicle the Possibility to Override its Driver

A function of an automated driving vehicle that can override a human driver while driving manually could work as a guardian angel in the car. It can take over control if it detects an imminent accident and has a possibility to avoid it. Because of the urgency of the intervention, there is not enough time to warn the driver in advance. In a study, feedback was collected from users how they perceived such an action while driving in a simulator. Additional feedback was collected about the general design and user interface of such a system. From an ethical point of view, we discovered discrepancies in the views of our participants regarding automated driving functions that need to be addressed in future development.
