The small thing that can keep drivers attentive while using partial automation


Cooperative steering works.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) conducted a new study that found that drivers were more likely to stay alert while using advanced driver-assist systems (ADAS) when they were allowed to correct the steering without disengaging the partial automation. The group’s researchers conducted an online survey of 1,260 owners of Ford, General Motors, Nissan / Infiniti, and Tesla vehicles equipped with partial automation who regularly use the technology. “These findings suggest that cooperative steering may have an implicit influence on how willing drivers are to take action when the situation calls for it, regardless of how they think their system is designed,” study author Alexandra Mueller said in a statement.
