About

Marco Galvani is a pioneering researcher in intelligent transportation systems, with a primary focus on the evolution of autonomous vehicles into human-peer robots. His work centers on the concept of artificial “co-drivers,” a universal enabling technology designed to bridge the gap between human drivers and autonomous systems. In his most-cited paper, "Artificial Co-Drivers as a Universal Enabling Technology for Future Intelligent Vehicles and Transportation Systems" (2014, 70 citations), Galvani outlines design principles grounded in human-robot interaction, proposing a framework where vehicles collaborate with drivers rather than replace them. This position paper has become a foundational reference in the field, influencing subsequent research on shared control and adaptive automation. Galvani’s earlier work, "Will intelligent vehicles evolve into Human-peer Robots?" (2012, 6 citations), further explores this vision, arguing that future intelligent vehicles must integrate converging technologies to achieve seamless human-machine cooperation. His contributions are notable for their forward-looking perspective, emphasizing safety, trust, and ethical design in autonomous systems. With a career dedicated to redefining vehicle intelligence, Galvani’s research continues to inspire engineers and scholars working toward safer, more intuitive transportation ecosystems.
