Abstract

We agree with Skraaning and Jamieson’s assertion that the “failure” construct is not always clearly defined in human-automation interaction research. We applied their proposed taxonomy to explore how failures have been characterized in driving automation research based on a recent scoping review we conducted. We discuss the insights gained and the challenges of using the taxonomy to characterize driving automation failures: (1) Utilizing the taxonomy confirmed that driving automation research is limited in failure scenarios tested. (2) Applying the taxonomy to empirical studies on driving automation is challenging due to limited information on underlying failure mechanisms. (3) Failures can be difficult to classify due to the complexity of technology and environmental factors. (4) Researchers and designers should know failure mechanisms, but drivers will not.
