Glance behavior during parallel parking maneuvers performed with and without automated steering was compared. Drivers directed a smaller proportion of their glances toward the parking space and spent less time looking at it when using automation than when not using automation. The proportion of glances and time spent looking at the instrument cluster containing information from the automation increased significantly. Drivers also spent a significantly larger proportion of time looking at the instrument cluster and a smaller proportion looking forward and rearward when using automation while approaching a parking space. The system selected the parking space in the approach phase, which may have drawn attention to the instrument cluster. In conclusion, when using automated steering during parallel parking drivers monitored their surroundings less and looked at system displays more presumably to supervise the automation. The safety implications of these changes in glance behavior should be explored in future research.
