A potentially troubling aspect of modern vehicle design - some
would argue - is a trend for isolating the driver and reducing
vehicle feedback, usually in the name of comfort and refinement but
increasingly because of automation. There is little doubt cars have
become more civilised over the years, yet despite this, the
consequences of driver behaviour remain to a large extent
anecdotal. Readers will have heard such anecdotes for themselves.
They usually take the form of drivers of a certain age recalling
their first cars from the 1970s or 80s, in which "doing 70 mph
really felt like it". The question is whether such anecdotes
actually reflect a bigger, more significant issue that could be
better understood. Related questions have been explored in other
domains such as aviation, where the change to 'fly-by-wire' did
indeed bring about some occasionally serious performance issues
that were not anticipated. Despite some clear parallels, automotive
systems have been left relatively unstudied. The research described
in this book aims to explore precisely these issues from a Human
Factors perspective. This means connecting the topics of vehicle
feel, vehicle dynamics, and automotive engineering with the latest
research on driver situation awareness. The problem is explored
experimentally from a variety of theoretical viewpoints but the
outcomes are consistently practical. Here we have a promising new
avenue along which the driver experience can be enhanced in novel
and insightful ways. Tools and templates are provided so that
engineers and designers can try different ways to boost vehicle
safety, efficiency and enjoyment from a human-centered perspective.
