Inside Out:

The rapid advancement of automated vehicles arouses the curiosity of researchers in the automotive field. Understanding the affective aspect of this advanced technology is critical to improving the interaction between humans and vehicles. The topics of this workshop will be expanded from focusing on the empathic interface design on the inside to the outside of the automated vehicles. The workshop will gather researchers and practitioners to brainstorm and design empathic in-vehicle interfaces and affective eHMIs targeting specific use cases with automated vehicles in the social context. During the workshop, participants will use an affective design tool and generative AIs to prototype their affective interface designs in automated vehicles. With this creative approach, we hope to expand the knowledge of affective eHMIs in addition to in-vehicle designs and understand social factors that contribute to the user perceptions of automated vehicles.
