TL;DR: This study systematically investigates the effect of divergent initial mental models of ACC on trust, acceptance and mental model evolvement and indicates that automation failures do not negatively affect trust and acceptance if they are known beforehand.

TL;DR: The results show that direct instructions to cross the street are preferred over status information of the vehicle and that large-scale text-based messages from the vehicle to the pedestrian, deliver better results.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the learning process of adaptive cruise control (ACC) and the development of trust, acceptance, and the mental model for interacting with it in a 2-month period.

TL;DR: Younger drivers showed higher comfort, enjoyment and acceptance with familiar automateddriving styles, whereas older drivers preferred unfamiliar, automated driving styles tending to be faster than their age-affected manual driving styles.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the development of drivers' trust and acceptance regarding HAD at different stages of system experience in a driving simulator as well as on a test track and found that older drivers reported a more positive attitude towards using HAD despite their lower self-assessed self-efficacy and environmental conditions facilitating HAD-usage compared to younger drivers.
