The continuous march of technology is increasingly opening new possibilities for the application of automation in domains as diverse as process industry, manufacturing and autonomous driving. All these sectors anticipate huge benefits, in terms of cost, productivity and safety, from the large-scale implementation of advanced automated systems over the coming decade. However, few understand the importance of fully considering how the humans that are supposed to use them should interface with the technology to realise the anticipated benefits and even fewer know how to address this problem. The human factors discipline promotes the consideration of human and organisational factors, particularly in safety critical industries, where breakdowns between the automated system and the human operator can have fatal consequences. However, the methods and approaches used by the discipline have not kept pace with the development of technology (Vincente, 2010).
