Colorful Commuting Journey: Non-driving Related Tasks that Drivers Willing to Perform Across Vehicles of Various Automation Levels and the Reasons
Pages 351 - 367
Abstract
Automated vehicles relieve drivers’ physical and cognitive load from driving and enable them to freely perform non-driving related tasks (NDRTs), which is promising to free modern citizens from the cost of the daily car-driving commute. Today, what NDRTs drivers are willing to perform and the reasons why they are willing to perform remain unclear, hindering the design of in-vehicle services. To fill this gap, we interviewed 15 drivers with driving experience in L2 automated cars to explore their preferred NDRTs during commutes in various levels of automation and why these tasks were performed. We classified four typical groups of NDRTs that can be performed during a commute, and the results indicated that drivers’ preferred NDRTs change with the automation level of cars and the digital devices they use. We further revealed 11 reasons why drivers are willing to perform certain NDRTs, and these reasons were categorized into the drivers’ needs and habits, the NDRT features, and the driving conditions. The findings of this study extend the understanding of user behaviors when commuting in automated cars, which will guide the design of non-driving related services for autonomous driving.

Do drivers change their manual car-following behaviour after automated car-following?
AbstractThere is evidence that drivers’ behaviour adapts after using different advanced driving assistance systems. For instance, drivers’ headway during car-following reduces after using adaptive cruise control. However, little is known about whether, ...
