| Summary | The tech-wise driver: Exploring the sustained efficacy and technology acceptance of targeted ADAS for older drivers A significant percentage of road traffic fatalities registered in Canada occurred among older adults. According to the studies, the Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) can enhance the safety and mitigate the age-related declines of older drivers. Whether sustained use results in declines in driving performance in older drivers relying on ADAS remains largely unexplored. This is problematic given emerging evidence on ADAS use by older drivers. Furthermore, exploring changes in ADAS technology acceptance in relation to sustained use can inform the correlation between perceived safety and intention to use. The investigators hypothesize that, compared to driving simulator t |
