Data underlying the submission: Exploring the Learning Strategies of Drivers using Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)

Interview transcripts - Conducted interviews with drivers who have used ADAS.Research objectives: Investigate ADAS learning, learning source, learning strategies, and Usage of ADAS. <br>Interview questions are as follows:<strong>Learning strategy</strong>Q1 Can you explain the [function name]? Q2 How did you learn about the system? Q3 What information did you get from a car dealership? Q4 Did you read the owner’s manual? Q5 Which information should drivers learn about the function?Q6 What instructional methods would you recommend for learning? <strong>System experience/understanding</strong>Q7 Do you keep your hands-on the steering wheel? Q8 Are you still confused about some parts of using the function?Q9 Do you have experience where the features do not work properly? Q10 Do you use the function all the time? / Do you disengage Autopilot and FSD Beta?Q11 When do you prefer to drive manually?Q12 How do you drive differently after you use driving automation?Q13 How do you use driving automation function in complex road situations such as a school zone or a construction area?<br><strong>Abstract</strong>: The integration of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) in vehicles marks an advancement in automotive safety and driving efficiency. However, to obtain the benefits of ADAS, drivers need to understand and utilise the systems properly. Through in-depth interviews with thirty-five drivers U.S. drivers experienced with SAE Level 2 partial driving automation, this study explores the learning strategies, including how they learn (learning channel) and what they learn (learning content) regarding ADAS. The findings show that trial-and-error is the predominant learning channel drivers use to learn about ADAS. Dealerships are critical points for providing initial information, but there is variability in the quality and timing of information provided by sales personnel. Traditional owner’s manual was rarely used to get information, but drivers relied on digital resources to gather information about ADAS. This study suggests that during the initial learning phase, it is essential to provide fundamental information, such as basic functions, operations, and limitations of ADAS while avoiding information overload. Subsequently, supporting trial-and-error learning is necessary to ensure drivers acquire accurate knowledge during practical driving. Furthermore, the study highlights the importance of integrating various learning channels, including driving schools, dealerships, digital resources, and hands-on experience through trial-and-error, into a comprehensive learning framework for ADAS.

访谈转录本——针对使用过高级驾驶辅助系统（Advanced Driver Assistance Systems，ADAS）的驾驶员开展访谈。本研究的调研目标为：探究ADAS的学习情况、学习渠道、学习策略以及ADAS的使用方式。

<strong>摘要</strong>：车辆搭载高级驾驶辅助系统（ADAS）是汽车安全与驾驶效率领域的重要进步。然而，要充分发挥ADAS的优势，驾驶员需正确理解并合理使用该系统。本研究针对35名拥有SAE 2级部分驾驶自动化系统使用经验的美国驾驶员开展深度访谈，旨在探究驾驶员针对ADAS的学习策略，包括其学习渠道与学习内容。研究结果显示，试错学习是驾驶员掌握ADAS的主流学习渠道。汽车经销商是提供初始信息的关键场景，但销售人员提供的信息质量与时机存在较大差异。传统纸质车辆使用手册极少被用于获取ADAS相关信息，驾驶员转而依赖数字资源来收集相关知识。本研究提出，在ADAS的初始学习阶段，应优先提供基础功能、操作方法及系统局限等核心信息，同时避免信息过载；后续需配套支持试错学习，以确保驾驶员在实际驾驶过程中掌握准确的系统知识。此外，本研究强调，应整合驾驶培训学校、汽车经销商、数字资源及试错实操经验等多元学习渠道，构建一套完善的ADAS学习框架。
