Automobile Automation - Distributed Cognition on the Road - Grand Format

Automobile Automation tackles the Human Factors issues associated with the roles left over for the driver of highly automated vehicles. Modelling the distributed cognition of the driver-vehicle-automation interactions, Banks and Stanton show that, ironically, there can be more mental work for the driver when vehicle sub-systems are automated. They also show human performance decrements associated with driving automated vehicles in simulator, test track and on-road studies.
Clearly, there are many Human Factors issue still to be resolved, making this book essential reading for designers, engineers and researchers in Automobile Automation.
