University of Michigan researchers are studying how well people with autism spectrum disorder can detect road hazards, and plan to assist the young motorists in sharpening their driving skills.
Tate Ellwood-Mielewski test drives on a simulator at the University of Michigan, Friday, April 29, 2022, in Ann Arbor, Mich. Michigan researchers plan to study how well those with autism spectrum disorder detect road hazards and assist the young motorists in sharpening their driving skills. The upcoming effort marks the second phase of a project that is funded by Ford Motor Co. and teams the Ann Arbor university with a local driving school.
Tate Ellwood-Mielewski, who was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder at age 3, is among those who plan to get back in the driver’s seat for phase two of the study. Mielewski had been harboring a growing concern about how her son would fare in the future with no driver’s license and his parents no longer around.
The goal, in part, was to provide an opportunity for those with autism spectrum disorder to improve their driving skills.
