Noor Jajo, a research assistant in professor Francesco Biondi’s Human Systems lab, sits behind the wheel of a Tesla used in recent research into driver attentiveness in semi-autonomous vehicles.
Research out of the faculties of engineering and human kinetics aims to better understand the potential for driver distraction in autonomous vehicles. Leading the project are research assistant Prarthana Pillai, engineering professor Bala Balasingam, kinesiology professor Francesco Biondi, and research assistant Noor Jajo.
