TY - JOUR PY - 2014// TI - The influence of highly automated driving on the self-perception of drivers in the context of Conduct-by-Wire JO - Ergonomics A1 - Kauer, Michaela A1 - Franz, Benjamin A1 - Maier, Alexander A1 - Bruder, Ralph SP - 321 EP - 334 VL - 58 IS - 2 N2 - Today, new driving paradigms are being introduced that aim to reduce the number of standalone driver assistance systems by combining these into one overarching system. This is done to reduce the demands on drivers but often leads to a higher degree of automation. Feasibility and driver behaviour are often the subject of studies, but this is contrasted by a lack of research into the influence of highly automated driving on the self-perception of drivers. This article begins to close this gap by investigating the influences of one highly automated driving concept - Conduct-by-Wire - on the self-perception of drivers via a combined driving simulator and interview study. The aim of this work is to identify changes in the role concept of drivers indicated by highly automated driving, to evaluate these changes from the drivers' point of view and to give suggestions of possible improvements to the design of highly automated vehicles.
