Behavioural Dynamics Towards Automation Based on Deconstructive Thinking of Sequences of Effects: ‘As Is – To Be’ Automation Effects Change Lifecycle

There rapid resurgence of Vehicle automation systems (VAS), this may result in different types of effects over time. Thus, investigating the impact of long-term effects on users’ Behaviour Adaptability/Changeability (BAC) is imperative. Besides volatile markets and shorter process life cycles, automation is one of the most important influences the vehicle industry has to deal with in the next years. Desirable adaptability and changeability based on user behavioural-based safety towards AVs is a quality requirement to stay successful in times of unpredictable transitions. This paper offers the reader knowledge on users’ ability to adapt or change due to exposed effects, either safely or riskily. The focus is hinged on structural, cognitive and psychological aspects behaviour. The major extension refers to interaction issues, based on social system theory. This results may contribute and cultivation a safety-based culture on-road and in-traffic. Moreover, highlight the interdepended and interconnected issues to long-term automation exposure and sequences of effects, as-is effects and to-be effects. Thus, in short, the “power law of learning” and “power law of practice” in understating users’ automation use, bridged on a systematic understanding of extended learnability, trustability, and acceptability. One of the core objectives of this paper is to promote an expert-based culture of advanced strategies and actual application practices. Thus, we aim to provide the reader with fundamental models of BAC based on a deconstructive thinking of sequences of effects.
