ADAPTABILITY REQUIREMENTS FOR EFFECTIVE COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEMS

Emergent Collision Avoidance Systems (CASs) are beginning to assist drivers in performing specific tasks and extending the limits of driver perception. The systems face significant hurdles in terms of safety and driver acceptance. In fact, CASs may actually make the driving environment more dangerous. This paper demonstrates that adaptive capability is necessary to mitigate these concerns. Specifically, CASs must adapt to a driver's style and...
