She is an inventor who coined the term autonowashing to describe the gap between the presentation of driving automation in media and its actual technical capabilities and human supervision needs.&nbsp; Her doctoral work took place in partnership with Bosch and Universität Ulm. She has a Master of Science in Usability Engineering from Hochschule Rhein-Waal University of Applied Sciences, where she specialized in advanced driver assistance systems and trust in automation during her thesis. She is an honors graduate of Flagler College where she received a Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design, and minored in Psychology and Fine Art. Her work has been featured by The Next Web, CNBC, PAVE Campaign, The Autonocast, Guidehouse Insights, EETimes, Automotive News and others.&nbsp; When she’s not thinking about future tech, you’ll find her traveling, cooking with plants, doing yoga or hiking in the woods.

Further, these vehicles represent a paradigm shift for human-machine interaction (HMI) due to their potential ability to conditionally reallocate control, authority, authority, and responsibility. This may enable them to perform authoritative control interventions in which the automated system fully blocks or fully takes away driver control authority.&nbsp; Conceptual Development, Experiment Design, Project Management, Data Analysis, Scientific &amp; Technical Communication, Peer-Reviewed Publication <img width="1280" height="720" width_o="1280" height_o="720" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ac67ac47dbc80655297fbe33239bca0653fb7b97159366bff2f6919dadf68be8/lizadixon_autoui.png" data-mid="201868603" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ac67ac47dbc80655297fbe33239bca0653fb7b97159366bff2f6919dadf68be8/lizadixon_autoui.png" /> AutoUI’23: Proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Automotive User Interfaces and Interactive Vehicular Applications, Ingolstadt, Germany What might an automated system do when its ability exceeds its human counterpart?

The relationship between regulatory policy, system architecture, Automated Driving System ​(ADS) mechanisms, and HMI design were explored to support policy discussion. Key intervention types were identified and their interaction patterns visualized. <img width="1805" height="1013" width_o="1805" height_o="1013" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e4773326be603a227def692d3c510a742012278faf225a828e3e34a1c1ae9b29/lizadixon_phd_experiment_design.png" data-mid="201869740" border="0" data-scale="63" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e4773326be603a227def692d3c510a742012278faf225a828e3e34a1c1ae9b29/lizadixon_phd_experiment_design.png" /> MethodsMultiple surveys and driving simulator studies were proposed, developed, and executed. Throughout the course of study, feedback from a total of over 700 individuals was captured and evaluated to determine driver sentiment towards and interactions with authoritative control interventions. Subjective data gathered from interviews and questionnaires, as well as objective data (e.g., gaze, steering torque) was analyzed to understand how drivers behave when they experience an unexpected loss of control authority. Experiment DesignA novel incentive concept was developed for the study of authoritative control interventions, enabling study participants to experience spontaneous system interventions initiated by driver control inputs in driving simulator settings. ResultsIn simulator, it was observed that drivers express more negative valence at the concept of interventions which block their control input vs. interventions where control authority is removed. In safety-critical scenarios, drivers respond more positively to interventions and express a willingness to give the automation more control. HMI design insights and ethical questions about the development of automated driving are discussed.
