Can Drivers Become Too Comfortable With ADAS?

The latest body of research from the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety found that drivers who use ADAS features grow comfortable with the technology over time, but the degree of that comfort could raise potential concerns. In essence, drivers who engaged with common ADAS features began to lower their overall attention to the driving task as the study went on. In this solo episode, AutoVision News Radio host Carl Anthony recaps and summarizes the findings from AAA and shares key insights from Dr. William Horrey, technical director for the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety.
