Cover Story: This study quantifies the interaction between remote drivers of teleoperation systems and Level 4 automated vehicles in real-world settings, focusing on how both disengagement and distraction affect performance. Key findings reveal that mental disengagement caused by distraction delays a remote driver's reaction times by 5.3 seconds and decision-making by 4.2 seconds during critical interventions. Disengagement also reduces attention and increased cognitive workload. The study underscores the need to design teleoperation systems that keep remote drivers engaged and which minimise distractions to ensure safe and effective operation of Level 4 automated vehicles. View this paper
