Highly Automated Driving, Secondary Task Performance, and Driver State (2012, background): “For example, although Ma and Kaber (2005) showed reduced mental workload in the presence of ACC and safer driving behavior with respect to speed and headway measures; Rudin-Brown and Parker (2004) suggest that such reduced workload was likely to lead to dangerous underload, creating unsafe driving b”
Driver performance effects of simultaneous visual and cognitive distraction and adaptation behavior (2012, background): “Driving tasks require a driver to monitor and comprehend the roadway in real time and to make timely decisions to maneuver a vehicle safely (Ma & Kaber, 2005).”
Effects of adaptive cruise control and highly automated driving on workload and situation awareness: A review of the empirical evidence (2014, background): “Hence, studies that used custom mental demand, effort, or task-difficulty scales (e.g., Ma & Kaber, 2005; Nowakowski, O’Connell, Shladover, & Cody, 2010; Piccinini et al., 2013; Vollrath, Briest, & Oeltze, 2010; Volvo, 2004) were not included in category 1.”
