Haptic Handle Design for Increasing the Situation Awareness of HAV Drivers

Under the background of highly autonomous vehicles (HAVs), machines make most of the driving decisions. Although it spares more time for people to enjoy the trip, it usually leads to passenger anxiety and distrust because of unexplained driving decisions and possible emergencies. There is no suitable office platform in the car. Different road conditions, such as bumps, sharp turns, and sudden brakes, can cause motion sickness for passengers working in the car. In this project, we have explored the limited multimodal interactions to maintain drivers' attention. We propose the haptic interaction
