s people approach old age, they experience various physical difficulties and show signs of cognitive decline which may progress into a neurodegenerative condition like dementia. Driving and commuting by various means is a way for people to move about and feel independent in their lives. However, due to the struggles that come with ageing, it may become necessary to withhold driving privileges, which further causes a decline in a person's health and a possible ripple effect on their caregivers. It is hence seen that it may be good to debate the driving safety of an individual before discussions of driving cessation, on seeing early signs of cognitive decline. With the progress in technology, we will see the coming of more vehicles that are able to safely operate on the roads without the need for human intervention. Advanced human-machine interfaces (HMIs) in these vehicles can compensate for age-related declines that affect driving. Hence, these technologies bring with them the potential to make driving and commuting accessible to a population that may have been overlooked in the research and design of it.The PhD hopes to explore how to make use of HMIs in highly automated vehicles to make driving better accessible to the older population that still drives but struggles with it owing to signs of memory loss, cognitive decline, or early-stage dementia. The research will not look to develop such a technology but rather inform the making of it - exploring its potential and bringing to light the implications and concerns that need to be thought of. The PhD will hence look to solve the following research questions.For the older population that still drives, what are the struggles they experience with it that are caused by memory loss, cognitive decline, or early-stage dementia? How can human-machine interfaces in automated vehicle technologies compensate for these struggles, to make driving/commute better accessible? What are some of the concerns of responsible research that come with exploring this technology for this purpose? What are the policies that need to be revisited or changes made to evaluate the use of this technology for this purpose?

S人接近老年，遇到各种身体困难，并显示出认知能力下降的迹象，这可能会发展为痴呆症等神经退行性疾病。通过各种方式开车和通勤是人们四处走动并感到独立的一种方式。但是，由于衰老带来的斗争，可能有必要避免驾驶特权，这进一步导致一个人的健康状况下降，并可能对其护理人员产生连锁反应。因此，可以看到，在讨论戒烟之前，在看到认知能力下降的早期迹象之前，在讨论驾驶停止之前，可能会辩论一个人的驾驶安全。随着技术的进步，我们将看到更多能够在不需要人类干预的情况下安全地在道路上运行的车辆。这些车辆中的晚期人机界面（HMI）可以补偿影响驾驶的年龄相关下降。因此，这些技术带来了可能在研究和设计中被忽视的人群驾驶和通勤的潜力。博士希望探索如何在高度自动化的工具中使用HMI，以使驾驶可以使驾驶更加易于驾驶，以使老年人更加易于驾驶，但仍在努力驾驶，但由于记忆力损失而努力造成了认知能力衰落或早期差异。这项研究不会寻求开发这样的技术，而是要为它的创造提供信息 - 探索其潜力并揭示需要考虑的含义和关注点。因此，博士学位会希望解决以下研究问题。对于仍在开车的老年人，他们经历的斗争是由记忆力丧失，认知能力下降或早期痴呆症引起的？自动化车辆技术中的人机界面如何弥补这些挣扎，以使驾驶/通勤更好？为此目的探索这项技术的负责任研究的一些问题是什么？为此目的，需要重新审视哪些政策或评估该技术使用的更改？作者得到了诺丁汉大学的地平线博士培训中心的支持（乌克里赠款号EP/S023305/1）。
