  Highly automated vehicles represent one of the most crucial development
efforts in the automotive industry. In addition to the use of research
vehicles, production vehicles for the general public are realistic in the near
future. However, to fully exploit the benefits of these systems, it is
fundamental that users have an appropriate level of trust in automation. Recent
studies indicate that more research is needed in this area. Furthermore, beyond
the management of user trust, the system should also convey a perceptible added
value to realize not only trust, but also acceptance and thus use. The EMMI
project pushes both, the management of user trust while conveying added value
to the user. Therefore, an advanced socio-emotional user model for estimating
user trust and various user-centered HMI systems with unique UX are being
developed. Together, the systems are employed to induce changes in the users'
trust in automated vehicles.
