This collection of information is voluntary and will be used for formative purposes only so that we may develop communications programs designed to reduce the number of traffic-related injuries and deaths. A federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to a penalty for failure to comply with a collection of information subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of information displays a current valid OMB Control Number. The OMB Control Number for this information collection is 2127-0682. Your participation today in this collection of information is estimated to average 80 minutes, including the time for reviewing instructions. All responses to this collection of information are voluntary. The overall time for the workbook is also reflective in the discussion guide.
DESCRIPTION #1
Please carefully read the description below.
WB1. Which of these two perspectives comes closest to your own?
Some people say that it’s safer when they (the driver) are in complete control of all the vehicle functions. They trust themselves more than technology, and say that technology software could be hacked, or that they can’t fully relax in a vehicle where driving is controlled by a computer.
Others say that vehicles in which driving is controlled by a computer are safer, because the technology is proven, there is new and better technology on the horizon and technology can react more quickly and reliably than people can.
----STOP!----
DESCRIPTION #2
Please carefully read the description of automated vehicle safety technologies below.
WB2. Automated vehicle safety technology covers a range of technologies from existing features like adaptive cruise control that adjusts your speed based on the distance to the vehicle in front of you, blind spot detection, collision warnings like lane departure, and automatic emergency braking, and all the way to emerging technologies where the vehicle performs all the driving functions, removing the need for manual operation of the steering wheel or gas and brake pedals entirely.
----STOP!----
DESCRIPTION #3
Please carefully read the description of automated vehicle safety technology levels on this page.
Level 0 –– The driver (human) controls everything: steering, brakes, throttle, power.
Level 1 –– Most functions are still controlled by the driver, but some (like braking) can be done automatically by the car.
Level 2 –– At least 2 functions are automated (like adaptive cruise control and lane-centering), but the drive must be ready to take control of the vehicle.
Level 3 –– Drivers are still necessary but are not required to monitor the situation as with previous levels.
Level 4 –– Vehicles perform all safety-critical driving functions and monitor roadway conditions for an entire trip, with option for human driving.
Level 5 –– No option for human driving – no steering wheel or controls.

Please read the following statement and then answer all questions on this and the following page.
STATEMENT B: An estimated 94% of vehicle crashes involve human error. Driver assistance technologies – like adaptive cruise control, which helps you maintain space between your car and others, and lane keeping support, which helps you stay in your lane – are already available in many vehicles. These technologies reduce human error by alerting the driver or reacting more quickly than the driver could to avoid crashes and help save thousands of lives.
