Development focuses on the needs of the user

The research project involved driving simulators, drives in test vehicles, and even a little magic: in a right-hand-drive truck, the passenger side of the cab was also equipped with a steering wheel, brakes, accelerator, and all the necessary control and display elements, with the two halves separated by a privacy screen. This approach, dubbed the “Wizard of Oz,” enabled the researchers to simulate the automated function and observe user behavior under realistic conditions.
