  Distracted driving is a major cause of road fatalities. With improvements in
driver (in)attention detection, these distracted situations can be caught early
to alert drivers and improve road safety and comfort. However, drivers may have
differing preferences for the modes of such communication based on the driving
scenario and their current distraction state. To this end, we present an
(N=147) where videos of simulated driving scenarios were utilized to learn
drivers preferences for modes of communication and their evolution with the
drivers changing attention. The survey queried participants preferred modes of
communication for scenarios such as collisions or stagnation at a green light.
that inform the future of communication between drivers and their vehicles. We
showcase the different driver preferences based on the nature of the driving
scenario and also show that they evolve as the drivers distraction state
changes
