Abstract
A realistic estimate of the risk-reducing effects that will be gained by the introduction of advanced driver supports (ADAS) requires knowledge of a number of elements, of which user behaviour is the least understood. This paper focuses on some of the most essential knowledge that is already available, in particular on the mechanisms by which users could possibly change their behaviour once they start using the support.
