Driver Reactions to Automated Vehicles focuses on the design and evaluation of the handover to and from driver and the automobile. The authors present evidence from studies in driving simulators and on the open roads to show that handover times are much longer than anticipated by previous research. In the course of the studies, Eriksson and Stanton develop compelling evidence to support the use of driving simulators for the study of handovers. They also develop guidelines for the design of handover strategies and show how this improves driver takeover of vehicle control.FeaturesProvides a history of automobile automationOffers a contemporary analysis of the state of automobile automationIncludes novel approaches in examining driver-automation interactionPresents studies of automation in driving simulatorsIncludes on-road studies of driver automationCovers guidelines for design of vehicle automation
