An Explanatory Windshield Display Interface with Augmented Reality Elements for Urban Autonomous Driving

One of the challenges in reaching wide-spread autonomous driving is the establishment of driver trust in the technology. We suggest a windshield display interface showing the perceptive abilities and decision-making of an automated car while driving. We took a human-centered design approach to determine user expectations and requirements. We present our resulting interface prototype which runs in a mixed-reality environment. We plan to evaluate its impact on situation awareness and trust in hard-to-predict urban scenarios.
