Supervision of a self-driving vehicle unmasks latent sleepiness relative to manually controlled driving
Abstract Human error has been implicated as a causal factor in a large proportion of road accidents. Automated driving systems purport to mitigate this risk, but self-driving systems that allow a driver to entirely disengage from the driving task also require the driver to monitor the environment an...
