I Spy with My Little Eye…a Giant Pink Teddy Bear on a Car???, on a test with driver assist systems and a mechanism for attention tracking.
Researchers found that the more than twice as many unfamiliar drivers with the Level 2 system turned on failed to recall the teddy bear compared to the other 2 groups. Almost all of the familiar drivers recalled the bear and also more of them correctly recalled how many times they had seen it compared to the other 2 groups. Those with better recall of the bear also tended to look around the roadway more when the bear was present.
