Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of vehicle automation and automation failures on driving performance. Previous studies have revealed problems with driving performance in situations with automation failures and attributed this to drivers being out-of-the-loop. It was therefore hypothesized that driving performance is safer with lower than with higher levels of automation. Furthermore, it was hypothesized that driving performance would be affected by the extent of the automation failure. A moving base driving simulator was used. The design contained semi-automated and highly automated drivingcombined with complete, severe, and moderate deceleration failures. In total the study involved 36 participants. The results indicate that driving performance degrades when the level of automation increases. Furthermore, it is indicated that car drivers are worse at handling complete than partial deceleration failures.

An integrated model of complacency and automation bias shows that they result from the dynamic interaction of personal, situational, and automation-related characteristics, with attention playing a central role.

The literature on automation and the various task analyses of driving do not currently help to explain the effects that were found and lateral support and longitudinal support may be the same in terms of levels of automation but appear to be regarded rather differently by drivers.

There was no indication that drivers shift more of their attention towards secondary tasks when driving with CC or ACC and both systems lead to lower maximum velocities and less speed limit violations, which give rise to some caution regarding the safety effects of these systems.

Results show that the longer drivers use their systems, the more aware of its limitations they become, and the drivers report that ACC forces them to take control intermittently.

This work develops a systematic approach to human-centered automation in advanced vehicle systems using a multiattribute decomposition of human and automation goals, and uses both the satisficing decision principle and the domination principle to identify performance evaluations.

The authors propose a structured procedural approach for the safety assessment of intervening systems, which is argued that, for information systems, it is possible to develop a “generic” safety assessment procedure, with a single generic test.

The results indicate a preference among drivers to steer and change lane rather than to apply the brakes when faced with acceleration and deceleration failures, and a trade off relationship was identified between allowing a failing ACC to stay operational and disabling it when an error is detected.
