SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Examining Driver Takeover Decisions and Trust of AVs at Rural Intersections
DESCRIPTION:This work explored whether the complexity of different rural intersections influenced driver trust and comfort in a conditionally automated vehicle (i.e.\, level 3 SAE) navigating the intersection for them. In an online survey platform (UMN Qualtrics)\, 271 participants watched five brief curated videos of a simulated automated vehicle navigating different rural intersections\, with or without the presence of traffic\, made a decision about whether they would like to take over control\, and rated their trust and comfort with the automated vehicle navigating each intersection. Intersection type was not predictive of AV trust and comfort with navigating the different intersections\, however\, drivers’ takeover decisions\, level of education\, past experience driving on J-turn intersections\, and urbanicity predicted the level of trust and comfort with the automated vehicle. The outcome of this work led to the development of a repository of curated simulated videos that were made publicly available for future research projects.\n\nFunded Research: https://ccat.umtri.umich.edu/research/minnesota/examining-driver-hand-off-and-take-over-of-avs-at-j-turn-intersections/\n---\nAbout the speakers:\nNichole is the Director of the Human Factors Safety Laboratory and Associate Research Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Minnesota.

SUMMARY:Other:QMSS Community Hours: Winter 2026
DESCRIPTION:QMSS Community Hours are open to all students as a place to build community\, work\, study\, and get help & support from QMSS Peer Mentors and GSIs.\n\nQMSS Community Hours are designed to be a casual\, supportive\, weekly community-building and open study hours event for students in the QMSS Community (i.e.\, students previously or currently enrolled in any QMSS courses\, declared QMSS minors\, and student friends of the QMSS program). QMSS Community Hours are a supplement to traditional office hours during which students can come to chat with QMSS Peer Mentors\, make friends in the QMSS program\, and work independently or in groups on problem sets\, projects\, and/or exam studying.\n\nDuring Community Hours\, 1-2 GSIs from each QMSS 201 and QMSS 301 course will be present for at least 1 hour for potential student questions\, and there will be plenty of open space to work on your own or with friends without a GSI if that's what you prefer. QMSS Peer Mentors will always be present for the entire event to chat about navigating the QMSS minor\, finding\, applying for\, and getting offers for summer internships that utilize QMSS skills\, life as a student at the University of Michigan\, or anything else they've been thinking about lately and seeking additional support or resources for!\n\nOpen to all students!

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Rare Failures\, Public Perception\, and Automated Driving: Why Exceptional Events Shape Trust in Emerging Safety Technologies
DESCRIPTION:This lecture explores the “vaccine paradox” of automated driving: why rare\, highly publicized failures of self-driving vehicles provoke intense emotional and political reactions while the far more common harms of human driving remain normalized. Drawing on risk psychology\, public-health history\, and human-factors research\, Prof. McGehee examines how visibility imbalance\, trust\, and perceptions of control shape public acceptance of emerging vehicle automation. Using real-world examples from automated-vehicle deployments alongside lessons from vaccine adoption and safety communication\, the talk argues that societal expectations for perfection in automation may obscure meaningful population-level safety gains. The presentation concludes by discussing how transparency\, responsible system design\, and careful language around driver-assistance technologies can help align public perception with evidence as automated driving evolves toward broader deployment.\n---\nAbout the speaker: Daniel V. McGehee\, is Professor of Industrial and Systems Engineering at the University of Iowa and Director of the Driving Safety Research Institute (DSRI) and the National Advanced Driving Simulator (NADS)\, one of the world’s largest and most advanced ground-vehicle simulation facilities. For more than three decades\, his work has focused on human factors\, driver behavior\, and the safe integration of advanced vehicle technologies\, including automated driving and driver-assistance systems. Dr. McGehee’s research spans engineering\, medicine\, public health\, and transportation policy\, with projects funded by the U.S. Department of Transportation\, National Institutes of Health\, and the automotive industry. He has led over $40 million in sponsored research and authored more than 160 scientific publications addressing driver attention\, crash avoidance\, vulnerable road users\, and the design of vehicle interfaces. His work combines naturalistic driving studies\, simulation\, and field research to better understand how humans interact with emerging mobility systems. At the University of Iowa\, he holds joint appointments in emergency medicine and public health\, reflecting his longstanding interest in traffic safety as a population-level health issue.
