ABSTRACT
Intelligent Driver Support Systems (IDSS) are becoming more and more widely available, and new ones are being developed, tested and brought on the market. The trends may contribute to driving becoming safer, supporting drivers in the driving task, warning drivers of potential dangers, and taking over when drivers are not able to cope with certain situations. Eco-driving systems informing the driver about fuel use are one option, but one should also think of forms of automated driving that adopt a driving style minimizing energy use. Cooperative systems may measure pollution, and redirect traffic or impose a lower speed. IDSS are rapidly maturing and becoming available on the market, and they are increasingly evaluated in real-life driving. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the development in driving from a situation where the driver is fully in control, towards one where driving will become more autonomous.
