A practitioner’s View of Driver Training for automated driving From Driving Examiners: A Focus group Discussion

As automated vehicles become increasingly common on the road, the call for an appropriate preparation for its drivers is becoming more urgent. Expert opinions and insights have been acquired via a focus group discussion with eleven Dutch driving examiners to assist in inventorying what types of preparations are needed. The concept of meaningful human control (MHC) as an integral part of the discussion lead to consensual findings regarding ADAS functionality and the drivers’ tasks, as well as discussion topics on driver training and levels of automation. It was concluded to have more research into human factors to safeguard proper control over automated vehicles.
