About
Miles Pennington is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction and automotive design, specializing in the future of semi-autonomous vehicles. His work focuses on reimagining in-car accessories as intelligent, robotic interfaces that bridge the critical gap between driver and machine during handover scenarios. Pennington’s major contributions include the development of MIRAbot, a reimagined rearview mirror that functions as a proactive driving assistant for SAE Level 3 vehicles, and Auze, a robotic rearview ornament designed to enhance trust and communication during autonomous mode transitions. His most cited work, “Design Exploration of Robotic In-car Accessories for Semi-autonomous Vehicles” (2024), has garnered 5 citations and lays the foundation for a new class of vehicular interfaces that prioritize both functionality and emotional engagement. By empowering these artifacts to prepare drivers for control handovers in a pleasant, intuitive manner, Pennington is shaping how humans will coexist with increasingly autonomous cars. His research is essential reading for anyone interested in the human-centered design of autonomous vehicle interiors.
