Proposal and Analysis of Driver Support System to Verify Driver's Overconfidence and Dependence Bias

The purpose of this research is to analyze overconfidence and dependence caused by receiving the utterance from a driving support robot when a driver drives a car. Comfortable driving can be performed by receiving support from the driving support robot. However, it is expected that drivers will lead to accidents by the dependence or overconfidence bias on support robots. The dependence bias is that driver decreases the quality of driving behavior with respect to the function of the safety system, and the overconfidence bias is that driver embraces expectations more than the performance of the driving support robot. Although this problem includes the fuzziness of human characteristics, the conventional driving support system does not take into consideration such influence of the overconfidence or dependent bias. In order to verify whether driver has the bias against driving support robot in this paper, we investigated the impression of the robot when the driving support with driving animation and robot and report the results.
