Abstract
Driving automation that is capable of evasive maneuvers without input from a driver and that can be active for extended periods may be available in the near future. This project will be an extension of previous Ford and VTTI collaborations to assess driver’s responses during a surprise event. A test platform, based on 2019 Edge and built as part of a previous collaboration, will be used to effectively provide drivers with an experience of driving automation capable of extended use at normal highway speeds.
