What is RCT protocol for driving performance in people with Parkinson's using autonomous in-vehicle technologies about?
## Introduction Driving is an essential facilitator of independence, community participation, and quality of life. Drivers with Parkinson's Disease (PD) make more driving errors and fail on-road evaluations more than healthy controls. In-vehicle technologies may mitigate PD-related driving impairments and associated driving errors. Establishing a rigorous study protocol will increase the internal validity and the transparency of the scientific work. ## Methods We present a protocol to assess the efficacy of autonomous in-vehicle technologies (Level 1) on the driving performance of drivers with PD via a randomized crossover design with random allocation. Drivers with a PD diagnosis based on established clinical criteria (N = 105), referred by neurologists, are exposed to two driving conditions (technology activated or not) on a standardized road course as they drove a 2019 Toyota Camry. The researchers collected demographic, clinical, on-road data observational and kinematic, and video data to understand several primary outcome variables, i.e., number of speeding, lane maintenance, signaling, and total driving errors. ## Discussion The protocol may enhance participant adherence, dec
