Description
Summary:Driving is considered a complex task that requires continuous focus and attention from the driver. Driving performance can also be impacted by changes in the driver’s stress level. However, limited research explores methods to address this challenge. With the current advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) and their ability to engage in human-like interaction, this study investigates the potential of using ChatGPT, designed to speak Egyptian Arabic, in re-engaging driver attention under different driving scenarios for low-stress and high-stress conditions within a virtual reality (VR) environment driving simulator. Drivers were asked to follow a leading car into two scenarios with and without ChatGPT while physiological data (Electroencephalography (EEG), eye-tracking, heart rate, galvanic skin response (GSR)) and driving performance parameters (reaction time, distance to lead vehicle, and number of collisions) were recorded during the sessions. The results indicate that open-ended voice conversation ChatGPT can help improve driver performance compared to not using ChatGPT. In the high-stress scenario, the EEG theta band increased significantly, which is associated with cognitive control, while the Perceived Stress Scale reduced by 16.64% in addition to an improvement of 5.78% in the driver’s reaction time. In the low-stress scenario, visual attention was improved as indicated by a decrease in parietal-occipital alpha band, and a significant increase in pupil diameter, and the performance improved by 5.32%. This work contributes to the integration of EEG-VR-ChatGPT, paving the way for adaptive Artificial Intelligence (AI) driver assistance in future research.
