113. Managing Attention During Virtual Meetings in Partially-Automated Vehicles
DescriptionThe number of people working remotely has increased substantially, with 18% of people in the US doing so in 2021. Existing video conferencing software has made it easier for individuals to have an immersive meeting experience. At the same time, automated driving systems (ADS) are becoming more capable–such that drivers will be able to hand over control to the ADS and engage in secondary tasks without continually attending to the roadway. While ADS can handle most of the driving task, drivers must still be prepared to resume driving. In these takeover situations, it may be difficult to actively engage in meeting activities.

This study seeks to understand the interaction of virtual meetings and driving with automation. We conducted a driving simulator experiment to answer the following questions: How does meeting participation and engagement impact drivers’ takeover performance? and How does takeover performance and warning type affect drivers’ meeting performance?
