Reclaiming control from advanced driver assistance systems

Automation is increasingly a part of everyday driving in systems such as adaptive cruise control (ACC) or collision warning systems. These systems are not perfect, meaning the driver has to stay vigilant for any faults or warnings, and be prepared to reclaim control. However, humans are not very good at monitoring well-functioning systems, meaning systems may need to offer more support than they currently do in situations where the driver needs to reclaim control. In this review, attention management, continual information and task design are seen as parts in a possible solution. Future research needs are discussed
