Age-related macular degeneration is a leading cause of blindness worldwideand is one of many limitations to independent driving among old adults. Highlyautonomous vehicles present a prospective solution for those who are no longercapable of driving due to low vision. However, accessibility issues must beaddressed to create a safe and pleasant experience for this group of users sothat it allows them to maintain an appropriate level of situational awarenessand a sense of control during driving. In this study, we made use of ahuman-centered design process consisting of five stages - empathize, define,ideate, prototype, and test. We designed a prototype to aid old adults withage-related macular degeneration to travel with a necessary level ofsituational awareness and remain in control while riding in a highly or fullyautonomous vehicle. The final design prototype includes a voice-activatednavigation system with three levels of details to bolster situationalawareness, a 360 degree in-vehicle camera to detect both the passenger andobjects around the vehicle, a retractable microphone for the passenger to beeasily registered in the vehicle while speaking, and a physical button on theconsole-side of the right and left front seats to manually activate thenavigation system.
