AutoGym – How to Maintain Situational Awareness During Autonomous Driving?

Driving a car is arguably not the healthiest form of transportation. Very restricted space for movement and a suboptimal sitting posture can, especially in long-distance commuters and professional drivers, lead to physical and mental suffering, such as physical fatigue. With the development of autonomous cars, which relieve drivers from the driving task and offer a much wider range of movements and incar interactions, new possibilities of physical exercises have emerged. To explore how to implement physical exercises into the car context, Sven Krome, Jussi Holopainen and Stefan Greuter developed an in-car fitness program AutoGym, which translates the traffic into an exertion game.
