The idea of transferring vehicle control to an automated system and thereby transforming from driver to passenger has raised safety concerns among potential users. To examine vehicle occupants’ perception (perceived safety and driving comfort, monitoring gaze behavior) of automated vehicle control in light of actual system experience, a driving simulator study with 50 participants was conducted comparing automated vs. human vehicle control from a passenger’s perspective. Automated vehicle control was perceived as less safe and comfortable, resulting in the majority of participants preferring human vehicle control. Correspondingly, participants performed more monitoring gaze behavior during automated than human vehicle control. The results underline the importance of a transparent, user-adaptive system design to create positive driving experiences especially during the first contact, thereby ensuring acceptance and usage by diverse users, who differ in their attitude towards automated vehicles.
