Automotive technology has evolved over the last century to accommodate various levels of vehicle autonomy in order to advance safety, enhance comfort, and to mitigate human error. The result has culminated in the development of a robotic or self-driving passenger vehicle. Yet, there is still much to understand with respect to the changing human-vehicle dynamic in order to develop effective, efficient, and trusted autonomous passenger vehicles. This work presents a theoretical review on the changing dynamic of the human-vehicle system, specifically with a focus on individual differences related to trust and performance. A pilot study is reported to illustrate the importance of the human to the development and calibration of trust within the human-vehicle cooperative relationship.
