Why do you like to drive automated?: a context-dependent analysis of highly automated driving to ...
summary
A qualitative simulator study (N=30) uses IPG CarMaker to run three-minute ride scenarios varying road type (rural/urban/highway) and traffic volume (light/moderate/heavy), then applies laddering interviews and codes 172 propositions against seven psychological needs (Sheldon). Results show context-dependent need profiles: autonomy is generally met, urban scenarios raise safety concerns and reduce comfort, and stimulation is often unmet (notably on highways). Recommendations: adaptive IUIs that augment traffic cues, enable limited manual control for stimulation, and support meaningful non-driving tasks to lower perceived travel time.
