How much do you trust your car? (via Volvo)<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

Self-driving cars are already hittine roads across the country.<\/span><\/p>\n

But for all their high-tech whositswhatsits, they still lack one important element: social awareness.<\/span><\/p>\n

“While autonomous technologies have improved substantially, they still ultimately view the drivers around them as obstacles made up of ones and zeros, rather than human beings with specific intentions, motivations, and personalities,” according to<\/a> MIT CSAIL.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory has been exploring whether self-driving vehicles can be programmed to class<\/a>ify motorists’ social personalities and better predict what other cars will do.<\/span><\/p>\n

Using a psychology tool called Social Value Orientation (SVO), scientists class<\/a>ified driving behavior based on the degree to which someone is selfish (“egoistic”) versus altruistic or cooperative (“prosocial”).<\/span><\/p>\n

BREAKING: New machine-learning system predicts if a driver is selfish or selfless. <\/p>\n

The goal is to enable self-driving cars to better handle situations like merging and taking left-hand turns. https:\/\/t.co\/i6tIgWF3FX<\/a><\/p>\n
