T0305 TETI0050 ADAS user attentiveness rapid evidence assessment

Description

New Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) features are being developed that reduce the burden on the driver to perform the driving task. These features can control steering, braking and acceleration, however, the users must still remain attentive as they continue to be responsible for the vehicle. The objective of the Department for Transport is to gain insight and evidence to support the further development of regulations governing ADAS features. Ensuring that they achieve their principle objective of reducing collisions and that they don't result in reduced driver attentiveness or misuse, to the detriment of the vehicle occupants and other road users. Consequently, the Department is seeking a rapid evidence assessment of user attentiveness when using ADAS to determine if users are losing attentiveness and in the event they are, determine the causes. Additionally, if the driver attentiveness is lost, how can it be quickly and safely regained?
