HVI – Human-like Kinematics Behavious of AVs

Smooth deceleration, realistic stopping distances, and assertive – but socially attuned – vehicle movements enhance legibility of AV behavior.

Subtle lateral deviations can indicate yielding or prioritization, especially in bottlenecks and merging scenarios.

Main Question

Has the use of human-like kinematics for approaching and braking of AVs been considered?

Sub-Questions

1. Has smooth decelaration and realistic stopping distance been taken into account?
2. Have you considered appropriate methods to indicate yielding and prioritization, especially in complext scenarios (e.g., intersections and mergings)?
