Simulator-based studies have examined the effect of automation on a driver\u2019s cognitive state, but it is unknown how the conclusions translate to on-road driving. Electroencephalographic (EEG) measures of frontal theta and parietal alpha can provide insight into a driver\u2019s mental workload and visual engagement while driving under various conditions. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Method<\/jats:title> EEG was recorded from 71 participants while driving on the roadway. We examined two age cohorts, on two different highway configurations, in four different vehicles, with partial vehicle automation both engaged and disengaged. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Results<\/jats:title> Analysis of frontal theta and parietal alpha power revealed that there was no change in mental workload or visual engagement when driving manually compared with driving under partial vehicle automation. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Conclusion<\/jats:title> Drivers new to the technology remained engaged with the driving environment when operating under partial vehicle automation. These findings suggest that the concern surrounding driver disengagement under vehicle automation may need to be tempered, at least for drivers new to the experience. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Application<\/jats:title> These findings expand our understanding of the effects of partial vehicle automation on drivers\u2019 cognitive states. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/00187208211039091","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,20]],"date-time":"2021-08-20T09:26:30Z","timestamp":1629451590000},"page":"1435-1450","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["This Is Your Brain on Autopilot: Neural Indices of Driver Workload and Engagement During Partial Vehicle Automation"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"65","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2456-9424","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Amy S.","family":"McDonnell","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Utah, Salt Lake City, USA"}]},{"given":"Trent G.","family":"Simmons","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Utah, Salt Lake City, USA"}]},{"given":"Gus G.","family":"Erickson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Utah, Salt Lake City, USA"}]},{"given":"Monika","family":"Lohani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Utah, Salt Lake City, USA"}]},{"given":"Joel M.","family":"Cooper","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Utah, Salt Lake City, USA"}]},{"given":"David L.","family":"Strayer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Utah, Salt Lake City, USA"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-00187208211039091","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.18637\/jss.v067.i01"},{"volume-title":"Human-centered aircraft automation: A concept and guidelines (NASA Tech Memorandum 103885)","year":"1991","author":"Billings C.
