Abstract Mankind’s love for automobiles dates back more than one hundred years to when they were first introduced. The major functions performed while driving an automobile are lateral and longitudinal control of the vehicle. While the former is necessary to ensure that the vehicle does not lose track of the desired path, the latter is used to keep the vehicle at a safe speed dependent on the surrounding conditions and at a safe distance from the preceding vehicle (if any). This function is carried out by humans whose senses detect changes in the environment and act as stimuli. The human driver then reacts to these stimuli by applying either the brakes or the gas pedal. This reaction defines the driving behavior of an individual driver.
