Is a flick-through enough? A content analysis of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) user manuals.

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are being developed and installed in increasing numbers. Some of the most popular ADAS include blind spot monitoring and cruise control which are fitted in the majority of new vehicles sold in high-income countries. With more drivers having access to these t...
