Brandon J. Pitts studies how people interact with automated and autonomous systems, particularly in driving and aviation contexts, focusing on trust, decision-making, and safety. His work examines topics like how drivers respond to self-driving car confidence signals, hazard identification and warning design, cognitive workload, and age-related differences in reacting to safety-critical situations. This research area, called human factors or human-automation interaction, aims to make automated technologies safer and easier for humans to use appropriately.
Publication output has grown substantially over the past decade, rising from near zero in 2017 to a peak of 16 in 2022, with continued high activity (8-15 papers/year) through 2025.
