Vehicle manufacturers are increasingly adding automated driving systems (ADS), such as Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Centering, etc., to a broad range of vehicles. While the use of these systems is intended to result in improved safety, a central challenge with their deployment is how to educate drivers on the use of ADAS and ADS technologies. This session will identify methods and best practices to educate drivers on the use of these technologies in ways that will optimize acceptance and use to promote safety. Featured speakers who are or have developed statewide and/or nationwide education modules relative to ADAS and ADS will guide an interactive discussion to identify best practices that be used by transportation safety stakeholders as they begin or continue discussions within their organizations or agencies.
