Genie vs. Jarvis: Characteristics and Design Considerations of In-Vehicle Intelligent Agents

Abstract

Intelligent agents (IAs) have been widely used at home and have been gradually introduced into driving contexts. While many studies researched agent features and their influences on user perception toward in-vehicle agents (IVAs), what attributes make IVAs unique and how people perceive them differently from at-home agents remain unclear. Therefore, the proposed workshop aims to bring up a discussion among researchers and practitioners worldwide to contribute insights to a list of characteristics and design considerations for in-vehicle intelligent agents. Features specialized in IVAs will also be discussed in the workshop, along with the preference for the agent form. We expect to extract innovative research and design considerations to benefit IVA research and the AutomotiveUI community.
