As the first phase of a larger project, drivers were recruited to drive for a month one of two different vehicles with a range of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). Training methods for introducing the systems and questionnaire and structured interview methods were tested for collecting driver perceptions and understanding of the technologies. Participant perceptions and selected observations are detailed.
