Driving
Past Now• IADL that requires
‐ intact visual, cognitive, sensory, and motor functions
‐ executed in a coordinated fashion‐ in a complex, dynamic, and
unpredictable environment‐ while having control over the
vehicle to steer it cautiously and safely in the flow of traffic
‐ observing the rules of the road
• Represents an integration of the person, the vehicle and the environment
• A privilege not a right• One of the only IADLs that can kill• A mediator of autonomy,
authority, freedom and independence
NowFuture
• IADL that requires‐ giving up personal control
‐ having confidence in technology
‐ having trust in system
• Understanding SAE levels
• Role change‐ Driver
‐ Operator
‐ Passenger
‐ Dispatcher
• Be tech savvy
• Understand lingo

Global Road Crashes Stats
• Road crashes • kill about 1.3 million • injure 50 million people worldwide every year
• Nine out of 10 lives lost in traffic are in low‐ and middle‐income countries
• The number of road deaths is on the rise even in countries with road safety improvements
• Increase in deaths of vulnerable road user• seniors• pedestrian• cyclists• motorcyclists
WHO, http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs310/en/index1.html
The USA‐ Picture is Bleak
• Road fatalities 2015– 35 092 road fatalities a 7.2% increase over 2014– This is the largest percentage increase recorded in nearly 50 years. – The number of injury crashes and those seriously injured also
increased substantially.
• The fatality rate is 10.9 per 100 000 inhabitants • Pedestrian and cyclists fatalities
– highest in 20 years– motorcyclist deaths increased by over 8%
• Provisional data from the first 9 months of 2016 indicate an additional 8% increase in fatalities over the same period in 2015.
• Cost– USD 242 Billion in 2010– include societal harm then USD 836 Billion in 2010 (6% of GDP)
Why? According to NHTSA:Job growth and low fuel prices that led to increased driving, including increased leisure driving and driving by young people.

‐ 1.5 miles away from home‐ client’s may be seen on an on call basis
• Visits family and friends in Jacksonville, FL on weekends‐ 1.5 hour drive

me”– “With all the UF students around town riding scooters and bikes I notice
that I feel nervous when driving”

Take Home Messages
• Impacts of IVIS– positive: enhanced safety (e.g., faster response)
– negative: cognitive workload increase, over‐reliance
• Impacts of ADAS – positive: enhanced safety and comfort (e.g., speed control, lane
maintenance, levels of stress decreased or maintained)
• Unable to determine impact of IVIS and/or ADAS on convenience
• Implications for program development to inform Smart Features for Older Drivers version 3

View of Uber self-driving system data playback at about 1.3 seconds before the Volvo SUVs struck Herzberg. At this point, the vehicle's self-driving system had determined an emergency braking maneuver would be needed to mitigate a collision. Yellow bands are shown in meters ahead. Orange lines show the center of mapped travel lanes. The purple shaded area shows the path the vehicle traveled, with the green line showing the center of that path. (National Transportation Safety Board)
https://www.kqed.org/news/11670355/safety‐agency‐uber‐suv‐detected‐pedestrian‐but‐didnt‐slow‐before‐fatal‐crash
NTSB says the autonomous Uber that struck and killed Herzberg spotted her about 6 seconds before hitting her, but didn't slow down because the vehicle's built‐in emergency braking feature was disabled.
Emergency braking maneuvers are not enabled while Uber's cars are under computer control. That's a measure designed "to reduce the potential for erratic vehicle behavior”.
Herzberg wore dark clothing and did not look in the direction of the vehicle until just before impact. A toxicology report showed that she tested positive for methamphetamine and marijuana.
Uber's driver said she had been monitoring the "self‐driving interface.“ She declined using phone at the time of the crash.
Also, the bicycle had no side reflectors and the front and back reflectors were perpendicular to the Uber SUV.
Results NTSB Investigation
Uber's autonomous driving system "relies on an attentive operator to intervene if the system fails to perform appropriately during testing." The system is not designed to alert the driver.
