简介： 

Driver error is a factor in over 90% of road accidents. Autonomous driving could mitigate some of the driver errors and deliver great potential for road safety as well as for road capacity. There are various degrees of autonomous driving. Among highly autonomous driving scenarios, the driver’s task would switch from a controller role to a monitoring mode. This leads to concerns over the driver being left out of the loop. How would drivers react they need to take over the vehicle control? This seminar offers some insight into this issue, based on experimental work carried out in the University of Leeds Driving Simulator.
