Objective: This field study examined the effects of adaptive cruise control (ACC) on mind wandering prevalence.
Background: ACC relieves the driver of the need to regulate vehicle speed and following distance, which may result in safety benefits. However, if ACC reduces the amount of attentional resources drivers must devote to driving, then drivers who use ACC may experience increased periods of mind wandering, which could reduce safety.
