ABSTRACT
Road deaths have been
reduced in Europe, but progress has stopped since 2013. A shared explanation is
that new technologies can increase driver mind distance to the vehicle road
environment because of distraction or cockpit isolation, factors rarely
declared by drivers after the accident. The connected and automated vehicle
technology is under pressure as it will have to thwart this negative trend, but
also to contribute to carbon dioxide emission reduction, traffic improvement,
passengers comfort and pollutants reduction in towns. Our challenge is to help drivers
to satisfy all these goals with the best compromise, without any distraction
from close reality. The technology is capable, but safety benefits will result
from positive and negative effects: recommendations to drivers or to automated
vehicles are today built separately for each goal, with risk to send
inconsistent recommendations through different systems: information can be a
penalty for some drivers in a risky situation, especially if mental charge is
too high. In a context of public mistrust on vehicle emissions, safety
efficiency has to be demonstrated in risky situations before deployment, using
virtual reality, based on coordinated content and validated HMI (Human Machine Interface)
principles: public authorities will have to coordinate it between Europe and
America.
