论文摘要
自动驾驶汽车越来越多地引入我们的生活中。然而，人们的误解和不信任已成为使用这些技术的主要障碍。为了应对这个问题，必须进行适当的工作，以提高公众的理解和意识，并帮助驾驶员合理地评估该系统。本文提出的方法是一种虚拟现实驾驶模拟器，它是自动驾驶演示和教育的低成本平台。为了测试平台的有效性，我们招募了36名参与者，并使用三种不同的方案进行了测试训练。结果表明，我们的模拟器成功地提高了参与者的理解，同时有利地改变了对自主系统的态度。可以通过驾驶学校，汽车制造商和政策制定者来进一步探讨本文提出的方法和发现，以改善自动驾驶汽车的培训。
Autonomous vehicles are increasingly introduced into our lives. Yet, people's misunderstanding and mistrust have become the major obstacles to the use of these technologies. In response to this problem, proper work must be done to increase public's understanding and awareness and help drivers rationally evaluate the system. The method proposed in this paper is a virtual reality driving simulator which serves as a low-cost platform for autonomous vehicle demonstration and education. To test the validity of the platform, we recruited 36 participants and conducted a test training drive using three different scenarios. The results show that our simulator successfully increased participants' understanding while favorably changing their attitude towards the autonomous system. The methodology and findings presented in this paper can be further explored by driving schools, auto manufacturers, and policy makers, to improve training for autonomous vehicles.
