Disengagement From Driving When Using Automation During a 4-Week Field Trial

This study examined disengagement with driving as drivers became more comfortable with partial automation during a 4-week trial. Twenty volunteers drove either a Land Rover Range Rover Evoque or a Volvo S90. The partial automation consisted of vehicles with either adaptive cruise control (ACC) or ACC and Pilot Assist, which combines ACC and lane centering. Removal of hands from the wheel, using a cell phone, and visual or manual interaction with in-vehicle electronics were recorded as disengagement. Participants in this study had increased levels of disengagement the longer they used partial automation.
