Abstract A driving assistance interface controlled by surface electromyography signals from the biceps brachii muscles has been developed to enable bilateral transhumeral amputees to accelerate, brake, and steer at low vehicle speeds. Driving simulator trials were conducted as a pilot study to validate the path following accuracy of the interface with respect to a conventional steering wheel and pedals interface. Human drivers used the interfaces to execute a circular 270° right turn with a radius of curvature equal to 3.6 m. The driving assistance interface and conventional interface had intertrial median lateral errors of 0.6 m and 0.5 m, respectively. A statistical analysis of the driving simulator data indicated that the driving assistance interface was comparable to the conventional interface. Based on the validated accuracy of the driving assistance interface, the investigators planned to further develop the interface to perform path following validation for an actual automobile.
