Hypotheses: Example ACC

H0: ACC decreases forward incidents.Rationale: braking by ACC system works as an early haptic warning to driver in case of preceding vehicle slowing down suddenly

Performance Indicator: Number of incidents

H0: ACC increases the time to reach the brake pedal.

Rationale: Driver has foot in comfortable position away from pedal.
