Cognitive Accessibility of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) for Older Adults

Summary

This study looks at how older drivers understand and use the assistance features in their cars. These features include lane warnings, digital maps, and parking help.

We want to find out aspects which could make the features easier to notice and respond to. We also want to see if using these features affects confidence when driving in older age.

This study involves an online survey. There is also an option to take part in a video interview to learn more about your experiences.
