Mercedes Benz Drive Pilot

Mercedes-Benz Drive Pilot is a Level 3 automated driving system aiming to enhance driver experience and safety by automating certain driving tasks. Current research focuses on improving human-automation interaction, particularly addressing issues like trust, acceptance, and effective communication between the system and the driver, often employing user studies and questionnaires to assess these factors. Furthermore, research explores improving the underlying algorithms and models for autonomous navigation, encompassing areas such as robust localization, and efficient decision-making support that goes beyond simple recommendations. This work holds significant implications for the development and deployment of safe and user-friendly automated driving systems.
