Although it is widely recognized that certain cognitive factors, such as impulsivity and inhibitory control, are related to risky driving behavior, play a significant role in on-road risk-taking, existing systems fail to leverage such factors. Varying levels of these cognitive factors could influence the effectiveness and acceptance of driver safety interfaces. We demonstrate an approach for personalizing driver interaction via driver safety interfaces that are triggered based on a learned recurrent neural network. The network is trained from a population of human drivers to infer impulsivity and inhibitory control from recent driving behavior. Using a high-fidelity vehicle motion simulator, we demonstrate the ability to deduce these factors from driver behavior. We then use these inferred factors to make instantaneous determinations on whether or not to engage a driver safety interface. This interface aims to decrease a driver's speed during yellow lights and reduce their inclination to run through them.

It borrows a metaphor from sailing to suggest that the best way through unwanted transformations is by “narrative tacking.” Drawing a parallel to how sailors navigate through headwinds by “tacking,” I argue that “tacking” through the narrative of change calms the resistance and enables forward motion. Specifically, it requires shifting the locus of attention from behaviors or the future state to the values and intentions of the actors. In attending to intentional states, we create space and flexibility in the narrative of change that enables the “wiggle room” needed for forward movement. I demonstrate the process through two case studies of complex, high‐stakes transformation efforts that succeeded above and beyond what anyone expected. I suggest how these maneuvers provide a template for other kinds of change projects as well. In the end, by anticipating and harnessing resistance, we can craft change processes that are more inclusive.
