People did hit fewer obstacles using that ssteym, obviously, but actually, for some of the plopee, it took them a lot longer to get through our otalcbse course, and we wanted to know why. It turns out that there's this important human dimension — a pnotelraisy dimension called locus of control, and people who have a strong internal locus of control, they need to be the masters of their own destiny — really don't like ginvig up control to an autonomous system — so much so that they will fhgit the autonomy; "If I want to hit that chair, I'm going to hit that chair." And so they would actually suffer from having that autonomous assistance, which is an important thing for us to know as we're building increasingly autonomous, say, cars, right? How are different people going to grapple with that loss of control? It's going to be different dindepneg on human dnemnsiois. We can't teart humans as if we're just one monolithic thing. We vary by personality, by culture, we even vary by emotional state moment to moment, and being able to design these systems, these human-robot interaction systems, we need to take into account the human dimensions, not just the technological ones.

Original Text


People did hit fewer obstacles using that system, obviously, but actually, for some of the people, it took them a lot longer to get through our obstacle course, and we wanted to know why. It turns out that there's this important human dimension — a personality dimension called locus of control, and people who have a strong internal locus of control, they need to be the masters of their own destiny — really don't like giving up control to an autonomous system — so much so that they will fight the autonomy; "If I want to hit that chair, I'm going to hit that chair." And so they would actually suffer from having that autonomous assistance, which is an important thing for us to know as we're building increasingly autonomous, say, cars, right? How are different people going to grapple with that loss of control? It's going to be different depending on human dimensions. We can't treat humans as if we're just one monolithic thing. We vary by personality, by culture, we even vary by emotional state moment to moment, and being able to design these systems, these human-robot interaction systems, we need to take into account the human dimensions, not just the technological ones.
