Abstract
There are many novice drivers and inexperienced drivers who have difficulty driving a car. In this work, we focused on intrinsic motivation to increase the effectiveness of practice driving and support drivers’ skill improvement. We proposed a system in which drivers themselves select what they pay attention to when driving from a list of options before driving. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, we compared a case in which the driver selected what to pay attention to when driving from among three options and a case in which the experimenter told the driver what to pay attention to when driving. The experiment results showed that intrinsic motivation was better than extrinsic motivation in preventing drivers from overcorrecting the steering wheel angle. However, there was no difference between the two in the skills of maintaining a constant speed and being aware of the left and right-hand widths because of their difficulty to master.
