Highly automated driving: the role of visuo-attentional and executive abilities in take-over success.

ABSTRACT: Previous studies have sought to better understand exogenous factors explaining drivers' ability to regain control or not from highly automated driving. However, few studies have examined the role of individual factors in drivers' take-over behavior and performance. The present study sought to examine the extent to which take-over performance can be predicted by individual differences in visuo-attentional and executive abilities. After a period of automated driving on a simulator, participants aged 20 to 60 (N = 118) had to regain control of their vehicle in a critical take-over situation (i.e., avoiding an obstacle by changing lanes while other vehicles are approaching at higher speeds). The take-over manoeuvre was considered successful if the participants managed to complete it wit
