Human trust calibration for autonomous driving agent of vehicle

A method, comprising:

• in an autonomous driving agent for a vehicle:
• determining, from sensor information acquired via a sensor system of the vehicle, a set of observations comprising human attention information associated with a scene of a surrounding environment of the vehicle and a level of human reliance as indicated by human inputs to the autonomous driving agent;
• estimating, based on the determined set of observations, a set of belief states for a first state of human trust on the autonomous driving agent and a second state of a human's cognitive workload in course of a journey;
• selecting, based on the estimated set of belief states, a first value of a set of values for a first action associated with a level of automation transparency between a human user of the vehicle and the autonomous driving agent;
• and
• based on the determined first value, controlling a display system of the vehicle to display a cue for a calibration of the human trust on the autonomous driving agent.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer implemented instructions that, when executed by an autonomous driving agent of a vehicle, causes the autonomous driving agent to execute operations, the operations comprising:

• determining, from sensor information acquired via a sensor system of the vehicle, a set of observations comprising human attention information associated with a scene of a surrounding environment of the vehicle and a level of human reliance as indicated by human inputs to the autonomous driving agent;
• estimating, based on the determined set of observations, a set of belief states for a first state of human trust on the autonomous driving agent and a second state of a human's cognitive workload in course of a journey;
• selecting, based on the estimated set of belief states, a first value of a set of values for a first action associated with a level of automation transparency between a human user of the vehicle and the autonomous driving agent;
• and
• based on the determined first value, controlling a display system of the vehicle to display a cue for a calibration of the human trust on the autonomous driving agent.
