Automobile Automation - Distributed Cognition on the Road (Broché)

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.
