“In Level 3 and 4 automated driving, the human driver will still need to respond in an emergency, taking control of the vehicle,” said Zhang. “These tasks required drivers to invest high, moderate, and low levels of mental workload. We tested their responses after a short interval or long interval of participating in one of these tasks. All of these tasks worsened the takeover and led to a period of poorer driving.
Biomedical researcher and author on the papers, Professor Stephen Robinson, warned that emergencies require a high level of cognition. “We found that driving experience and takeover performance were highly correlated, with inexperienced drivers responding more slowly and less effectively. The distance driven since gaining a driver’s license is more important than the number of years since the license was issued,” said Zhang.
“The aim of our work is to enhance ‘human-automation interaction’ for autonomous vehicles and significantly improve the way humans interact with and control these advanced autonomous vehicles, leading to enhanced efficiency and safety in their operation,” said Fard.
