Abstract
The variety of models of the driving task is almost as numerous as the number of authors who have contributed the models. Part of this variety is due to the different applications for which the models are intended and another part is due to the part of the driving task they are intended to describe. Since driving encompasses so many tasks and subtasks at different levels, often performed by the driver simultaneously, it is perhaps no surprise that it is hard to find any consensus in the literature on how the process of driving should be modelled.
