NIST summer intern and University of Maryland, College Park student Joy Roberts studied passenger comfort in one of NIST’s self-driving cars — also known as autonomous vehicles — this summer. One challenge to keeping passengers comfortable in a self-driving car is that it sometimes stops suddenly, more often than a human-driven car. So, part of Joy’s internship involved riding in a self-driving car and rating its comfort level. You might even call it a (safe) joy ride!
