This study indicates that cooperative steering can significantly enhance driver engagement in partially automated driving systems. Drivers using cooperative systems are more active in steering, improving safety.
The design differences in automated systems directly influence driver behavior. Systems that switch off when drivers attempt to steer diminish the likelihood of their engagement and response during critical driving moments.
David Harkey emphasized, "These results suggest that small differences in system design can nudge drivers toward safer habits," highlighting the importance of design in automated vehicle systems.
Drivers with cooperative steering systems were found to be 36% more likely to adjust their steering appropriately when needed, showcasing the benefits of maintaining manual involvement.
