Automated driving continues to approach reality. Research in traffic psychology in this area focuses on how to achieve a high level of acceptance and thus willingness to buy by designing these vehicles and their behavior accordingly. Or to put it more positively: How do these vehicles have to be designed to be pleasant and positive for passengers and other human road users? The first paper is about using an adaptation of driving behavior of automatic cars to show the passenger that the vehicle understands and takes into account the possible criticality of a situation. The second paper examines the extent to which the behavior of automated vehicles could lead to positive effects on the behavior of human drivers in the sense of model learning, and thus increase road safety. The third and fourth contributions deal with interior design for passengers of automated vehicles, certainly a key way to increase comfort. This is complemented by a contribution that examines possible use cases for automated driving in the context of one's own family, in the sense of a requirements analysis. Finally, a very special automation function, the automatic emergency call, is examined from the perspective of accident research, thus concluding the overview of current problems of automation in driving.

The goal of the research project RUMBA, which is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, is to redesign the user experience for occupants during an automated drive (SAE level 4) by developing innovative interior and interaction concepts. As part of the second iteration of the user-centered, iterative development process, a laboratory study will be presented. It aims to evaluate a simulated prototype of an innovative vehicle interior concept for work and entertainment during automated driving as well as to identify design suggestions for its further development. The vehicle interior concept to be evaluated will be compared with a classic vehicle interior in an experimental research setting. The test subjects experience each vehicle interior prototype during two 15-minute simulated, automated drives. In the first ride, one subject performs work tasks while the other watches a movie; in the second ride vice versa. Besides others, user experience, system trust and subjective road safety of the occupants are measured. The contribution reports the methodology as well as first results of the evaluation study.
