About this episode
Driving instructors need to embrace the evolving technology of vehicles, especially as we move closer to autonomous driving. Terry Cook chats with Dr. Nick Reed, a leading expert in vehicle technology and road safety, about the crucial role instructors will play in the development and adoption of automated vehicles. They discuss the importance of understanding driver assistance systems, safety ratings like Euro NCAP, and how instructors can educate learners about making informed choices when buying their first cars. The conversation also highlights the need for a balance between automation and driver awareness, ensuring that safety features are utilized rather than disabled.
