Clifford Nass, a Stanford University professor recognized as one of the world's top researchers on human interaction with self-driving cars, died of a heart attack last weekend at age 55.
Nass was co-director of Stanford's Center for Automotive Research, head of the university's Revs transportation program and director of the university's Communication Between Humans and Interactive Media Lab.
He authored three books and more than 125 research papers about the psychology of technology, including socio-psychological aspects of human-computer interaction.
Much of Nass's recent work focused on the challenges presented when an autonomous vehicle asks its driver to take control on short notice. He held a bachelor's degree in mathematics and a master's and doctorate in sociology, all from Princeton University.
