E.16 Liza Dixon, Human-Machine Interaction Researcher and PhD Candidate | The Screens Podcast
Join hosts Denise Michelmann and Shrivaas Madapusi Sundar as they speak with Liza Dixon, a PhD researcher specializing in human-machine interaction in automated driving and the driving force behind "Autonowashing". They explore the use of Mixed Reality headsets like the Apple Vision Pro during automated driving, focusing on their impact on driver distraction and the implications from a human factors perspective. The conversation also covers Augmented Reality applications in car HUDs and the potential for cognitive overload, including a key discussion on "How much is too much?" The discussion progresses to authoritative automation and the dynamic transfer of authority between drivers and automated systems. Liza addresses the issue of "overtrusting the car," where drivers believe their vehicles are more capable than they actually are. She introduces the concept of "autonowashing", highlighting the tendency of companies to exaggerate the capabilities of their automated systems. The hosts delve into the regulatory implications and the necessity for government intervention to prevent misleading advertising by OEMs as well as an ethical perspective of the aforementioned. Finally, they examine insights from Bryant Walker Smith's talk on who is truly driving automated vehicles—companies, drivers, or the cars themselves—and discuss the ethical implications. The episode concludes with an exploration of FRU models and the shifting responsibility in driving as automation becomes more prevalent. Tune in for a comprehensive discussion on the future of automated driving and its impact on human factors, driver safety and the society in general.
