Transport automation's primary concerns revolve around human factors and safety. Studies in this area examine the human element in connected and self-driving vehicles, particularly how drivers transition between automated and manual control. Research also explores the communication needs of other road users—including drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists—when encountering automated vehicles.
