The emergence of autonomous vehicles (AVs) marks a transformative leap in transportation technology. Central to the success of AVs is ensuring user safety, but this endeavor is accompanied by the challenge of establishing trust and acceptance of this novel technology. The traditional "one size fits all" approach to AVs may limit their broader societal, economic, and cultural impact. Here, we introduce the Persona-PhysioSync AV (PPS-AV). It adopts a comprehensive approach by combining personality traits with physiological and emotional indicators to personalize the AV experience to enhance trust and comfort. A significant aspect of the PPS-AV framework is its real-time monitoring of passenger engagement and comfort levels within AVs. It considers a passenger's personality traits and their interaction with physiological and emotional responses. The framework can alert passengers when their engagement drops to critical levels or when they exhibit low situational awareness, ensuring they regain attentiveness promptly, especially during Take-Over Request (TOR) events. This approach fosters a heightened sense of Human-Vehicle Interaction (HVI), thereby building trust in AV technology. While the PPS-AV framework currently provides a foundational level of state diagnosis, future developments are expected to include interaction protocols that utilize interfaces like haptic alerts, visual cues, and auditory signals. In summary, the PPS-AV framework is a pivotal tool for the future of autonomous transportation. By prioritizing safety, comfort, and trust, it aims to make AVs not just a mode of transport but a personalized and trusted experience for passengers, accelerating the adoption and societal integration of autonomous vehicles.
自动驾驶汽车（AV）的出现标志着交通技术的重大飞跃。确保用户安全是 AV 成功的关键，但这一努力伴随着建立对这项新技术的信任和接受的挑战。传统的“一刀切”的 AV 方法可能会限制其更广泛的社会、经济和文化影响。在这里，我们引入了人格生理同步自动驾驶汽车（PPS-AV）。它采用了一种综合方法，将个性特征与生理和情绪指标相结合，使 AV 体验个性化，以增强信任和舒适度。PPS-AV 框架的一个重要方面是实时监测乘客在 AV 中的参与度和舒适度。它考虑了乘客的个性特征及其与生理和情绪反应的相互作用。该框架可以在乘客的参与度下降到关键水平或他们表现出低情境意识时向乘客发出警报，确保他们迅速恢复注意力，特别是在接管请求（TOR）事件期间。这种方法培养了更高的人机交互（HVI）意识，从而建立了对 AV 技术的信任。虽然 PPS-AV 框架目前提供了基本的状态诊断，但预计未来的发展将包括利用触觉警报、视觉提示和听觉信号等接口的交互协议。总之，PPS-AV 框架是自动驾驶交通未来的关键工具。它通过优先考虑安全、舒适和信任，旨在使 AV 不仅成为一种交通方式，而且成为乘客个性化和值得信赖的体验，从而加速自动驾驶汽车的采用和社会融合。
