Abstract
This study investigated the effect of age and driving experience on driving performance with automated vehicles. Participants performed a detection task while driving an automated vehicle in a simulator. Reaction time and accuracy were recorded as the driving performance. Results showed a moderate positive correlation between age and reaction time, between driving experience and reaction time. However, no significant difference in driving performance was found between different age groups and different driving experience groups. The results should provide insights to future studies about the effect of human factors in automated vehicles.
