Abstract

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) have the potential to increase driver safety. However, driver misuse or failure to use ADAS could mitigate potential benefits. Appropriate training is one established method for encouraging proper use of technology. An online survey of 2364 respondents revealed significant differences between utilized and preferred methods for learning to use technologies. Drivers who learned through their preferred methods reported higher understanding and use of in-vehicle systems. Providing readily available methods of learning that align with learning preferences may improve safe use of ADAS.
