ABSTRACT

Despite the allocation of function between the driver and automated subsystems being key in facilitating and developing driver-automation cooperation (Hoc, 2000), the industry has continued to be plagued by criticism for inadequately acknowledging the role of the driver and how it may change once these systems have been deployed (Banks et al., 2013). It would seem that we do not fully understand or appreciate the complexities of driver-automation cooperation in modern day cars (Weyer et al., 2015). This poses many challenges for systems designers to ensure that the interaction between humans and automated systems is designed appropriately (Strand et al., 2014) to ensure that the negative

effects typically associated with being out-of-the-loop are minimized (Endsley and Kiris, 1995; Wickens and Hollands, 2000).
