Proper use of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)—rapidly being introduced into the U.S. vehicle fleet—offers the promise of reducing motor vehicle crashes and fatalities. ADAS features, however, can be confusing to drivers; include a wide variance of terminology; and have many differences in design and functionality. ADAS technology differs from previous vehicle safety enhancements for […]
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, […]

As systems such as Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Lane Keeping Assistance (LKA) are becoming widely available, it is important to recognize road users’ understanding and knowledge (i.e., mental models) of these technologies. Studies have […]
