About
Alessandro Naddeo’s research lies at the intersection of human factors, automotive safety, and human-machine interaction, with a particular focus on making automated driving systems more trustworthy and user-friendly. His work explores how interface design—specifically anthropomorphic and biophilic elements—can shape driver trust and acceptance in autonomous vehicles. In his highly cited 2025 study, “Towards more trustworthy automated driving: comparing Anthropomorphic and Biophilic interfaces,” Naddeo conducted a within-subjects experiment with 30 participants in a simulated driving environment, demonstrating that both approaches can enhance user confidence, though through different psychological mechanisms. This contribution is pivotal as the automotive industry moves toward Level 4 and 5 automation, where human trust remains a critical barrier to adoption. With over 2 citations already, his work is gaining traction among researchers in human-robot interaction and vehicle design. Naddeo’s research not only advances theoretical understanding of trust in automation but also offers practical design guidelines for creating safer, more intuitive in-vehicle interfaces—a key step toward the widespread acceptance of self-driving technology.
