Advanced in-vehicle technology is becoming more commonplace in the U.S. passenger vehicle fleet. Under limited circumstances, driver support features such as adaptive cruise control (ACC), lane centering assist (LCA), and other forms of vehicle automation can now perform parts of the driving task. It follows that these features can change drivers’ roles, including adopting passive […]
New and sophisticated vehicle technology is beginning to change the nature of driving, assuming tasks that were previously part of the driver’s responsibility. Past research has documented critical gaps in drivers’ understanding of these technologies and related safety implications. However, less is known about how understanding of new technology varies across the driving population. Moreover, […]
This study examines the prevalence and frequency of use of in-vehicle technologies as well as the relationships between technology-use frequency and associated factors among a subset of AAA Longitudinal Research on Aging Drivers (AAA LongROAD) participants. Previous research using data from the AAA LongROAD study has shown that many older drivers use available in-vehicle technologies […]
