Improving take-over quality in automated driving by interrupting non-driving tasks

on YouTube ↗17m

" summary

A simulator study with 53 participants using a Mercedes-Benz cockpit and a 9-inch IVIS tablet compares two secondary tasks — watching movies and the Little Man Task — with interruptions every 30s that either show the road for 3s or present a blank screen. Showing the driving scene yields faster take-over reaction times and higher situational awareness versus blank or baseline, notably for the low-effort movie condition; the chunked Little Man task shows no benefit, and movie recall and subjective load shift after interruptions.
