APPENDIX D
Dealership Interview Script
Hello, are you one of the salespeople? [If no, Is someone on the sales team available?]
My name is [name] and I work at the University of Iowa DSRI. We are learning about the different ways dealerships provide training or education about advanced driver assistance features to their sales teams. The information we gather will be anonymous. Do you have 5 minutes to speak with me and answer a few questions?
If they say no, Thank you for your consideration. I hope that you have a nice day. [End call.]
If they say yes, Thank you very much. We really appreciate your help.
- Has the dealership that you currently work for provided any training or educational materials related to advanced driver assistance features?
- [If respondent indicates uncertainty about advanced driver assistance features: These systems are sometimes referred to as “Advanced Driver Assistance Systems” or by the acronym “ADAS.” These systems monitor the driving environment and may warn the driver of potential collisions, provide intervention during potential collisions, or provide driving control assistance. I can provide examples of these systems if that would be helpful.
- [Some examples of warning systems include Blind Spot Warning, Lane Departure Warning, and Forward Collision Warning. Examples of systems that provide intervention include Lane Keeping Assist and Automatic Emergency Braking and systems that provide driving control assistance include Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Centering Assist.]]
- [If no, skip to Closing]
