SUMMARY:Driving with Empathy: Workshop Report on AI-driven In-vehicle Empa
 thic Agent Design  for Automated Vehicles
DESCRIPTION:Mungyeong Choe and Jiayuan Dong (Virginia Polytechnic Institut
 e and State University); Esther Bosch (German Aerospace Center); Ignacio A
 lvarez (Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt); Michael Oehl (German Aerospace 
 Center); Christophe Jallais (University Gustave Eiffel); Areen Alsaid (Uni
 versity of Michigan, Dearborn); and Myounghoon Jeon (Virginia Polytechnic 
 Institute and State University)\n\nThe rapid development of automated vehi
 cles offers promising avenues to enhance user experience and safety by int
 egrating empathic in-vehicle interfaces. The report from the workshop [Hid
 den for review] series, held during the [Hidden for review], investigates 
 the potential of employing generative artificial intelligence (AI) to deve
 lop these empathic interfaces. Our workshop emphasized the importance of e
 motion recognition and regulation for passengers in driving contexts and t
 he role of future in-vehicle empathic interfaces. Through collaborative de
 sign sessions, participants developed personalized in-vehicle agents to ad
 dress drivers' emotional states to improve safety and enjoyment. We explor
 ed insights by investigating the potential and possibilities of using gene
 rative AI in the design process. This report discusses the significance of
  empathic displays in facilitating the adoption of automated vehicles and 
 explores the potential and limitations of using generative AI in the desig
 n phases.\n\n
