N2 - The potential of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) to enhance road safety and driver comfort is significant. However, its realization can be compromised by driver misuse. This paper discusses the misuse of ADAS, defined as the suboptimal, inappropriate, or incorrect utilization of these systems. Such misuse not only diminishes their safety benefits but also poses new risks. In this paper, I argue that misuse encompasses at least three distinct behaviours: Non-Use When Beneficial, Overuse, and Non-Compliant Use. Each presents unique challenges to leveraging ADAS's full safety capabilities. Through an analysis of these behaviours, the paper aims to shed light on the underlying reasons for ADAS misuse and its implications for road safety and vehicle efficiency. The study underscores the importance of addressing these issues through the development of more effective ADAS technologies, comprehensive education programs, and other interventions tailored to encourage correct usage. By exploring the specific pathways of misuse and their impact on road safety, this research contributes to the broader understanding of how to maximize the benefits of ADAS, ensuring they serve their intended purpose of making roads safer for all users.
