Abstract
Known issues at higher automation levels are hoped to be solved by the systems capability to automatically perform maneuvers in order to achieve a so-called minimal risk condition. In this paper, we contribute to this developing research field and emphasize the driver’s perspective. We have conducted a video survey with 49 participants showing different forms of maneuvers. The results show that drivers favor evasive maneuvers over coming to standstills and maneuvers to the left over right. However, the desired condition to be achieved is mainly the standstill on a shoulder lane. These conflicts should be considered for designing such systems and further investigated with different methodologies, such as driving simulators.
