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.
