Consider tracking devices; what is the main difference between tracking devices and positioning devices? 

Consider the knowledge, rules, skills scale, and expertise in decision making. If a decision maker has no automatic response or rules to rely on and goes through an analytical process to make decisions, what level are they operating on? 

Consider an automated system being used in an operating room; this system has a “Quick Quiet” function so alerts can be instantly silenced if an emergency occurs with the patient until physicians are ready to reactivate the system. We discussed some examples of things humans are better at vs. things machines are better at. Why is it important that the system can be silenced/put in the background during an emergency? 

When we design for long-term memory, what is an important consideration? 

In controls, we discussed needing to make controls discriminable; why is it important to make controls discriminable? 

Fill in the blank…if you must perform an action to a high level of accuracy, you must act BLANK. 

In class, we got to use the MIT Moral Machine. We also discussed AI and machine learning and ethics. Why is ethics so important when we design systems such as autonomous vehicles?

Consider wearable technology such as Fitbit or the Apple Watch; what is a design consideration for wearable technology? 

Consider a nuclear power plant operator working a morning shift (3am – 12pm) and an automated system that manages the plant. The automation integrates information from multiple places within the plant and provides alerts to the operator if there are values out of range. When the afternoon shift operator arrives at 12pm, they notice the temperature in reactor 1 is high and asks the morning operator how long the temperature has been rising. The morning operator replies that they have not received any alerts about the temperature in reactor 1 and was not aware that the temperature had been rising. The morning operator mentions that when they checked the temperature at 4am it was normal, and they were not aware it had changed. System diagnostics reveal that the temperature had been steadily rising since 5am but was not yet high enough to trigger an automated alert. Within hours, reactor 1 experiences a partial meltdown. What source of automation intervention failure is this describing?   

In terms of improving situation awareness, which of the following is an example of improving situation awareness in level 2 (comprehension)?
