Abstract

Loss of vision significantly impairs mobility, with blind individuals often relying on sighted individuals or public transportation to get around. Self-driving vehicles could significantly improve the mobility of blind people, but current legislation often requires a legal driver to be present in the vehicle who can take over in case of a malfunction. To enable blind people to eventually use a self-driving car independently, we present a steering interface that allows for steering a vehicle using haptic cues. User studies with six blind and sighted subjects identify what accuracy is required and possible using our interface to steer a vehicle on a track using a simulator. We investigate whether driving experience affects haptic steering performance and perform a qualitative study into the usability of our haptic steering interface. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
