Driving vehicles are part of an ultimate technology in modern societies allowing the user to travel and navigate short distances within urban regions as well as long routes within large-scale environments. Thereby, the ability to drive enables us to enlarge our own, biologically defined and restricted range of mobility in a nearly unlimited manner. Driving, that is, controlling a vehicle in a visually cluttered environment, involves the simultaneous use of central and peripheral vision and the execution of primary and secondary tasks (both visual and non-visual). As a vehicle moves through the environment, the visual input is rapidly changing and the driver is therefore often uncertain as to when and where a critical visual event will occur. Consequently, appropriate gaze behavior is a necessary cognitive tool for a safe drive in order to maximize information acquisition together with adequate interpretations and predictions of environmental situations based on memories. |
