The main promise of autonomous driving is that autonomous vehicles (AV) will reduce traffic accidents caused by human errors and will eventually be safer than human driven vehicles (HV). However, until a time comes when only fully autonomous vehicles travel on roads, the interaction between HV and AV remains extremely important. There is evidence that humans apply different moral concepts for interactions with cyber-physical systems which are much more outcome-oriented as compared to norm-oriented interactions with other humans (Malle et al., 2015). This implies that humans will interact differently with technical systems, like AV than with HV. The aim of this study was to investigate if there is a difference between the valuation of actions when an interaction involves AV as compared to similar interactions with other HV in time-critical merging situations and whether these potential differences in human-human and human-autonomous vehicle interactions can be characterized from behavior and neurophysiological whole-head fNIRS brain activation measurements.} } @COMMENT{Bibtex file generated on }
