Abstract
As automated vehicles become more widely available, it is essential that we understand how workload and gaze distribution change throughout a drive. This work provides an understanding of workload and gaze distribution throughout two simulated automated drives. The first drive, the baseline, participants experienced fully functioning automation. During the second drive, the handover drive, participants experienced an automation failure which required them to take manual control of the vehicle. The results of this work can be used to understand the impact of interventions such as automation reliability displays and take over requests on the driver.
