This project combines large-scale telematics data analysis, evidence synthesis, and controlled driving-simulator studies to understand when and why unintended disengagements occur and evaluate candidate mitigation strategies.</p> <p><strong>My contributions</strong></p> <ul> <li>Co-Principal Investigator on the project.</li> <li>Lead the Super Cruise telematics mining task, quantifying unintended disengagement event rates and causes from GM OnStar data.</li> <li>Contribute to simulator scenario design, statistical power analysis, and preparation of the final research dataset.</li> </ul>
