behavioral adaptation risk compensation

Behavioral adaptation and risk compensation: drivers offsetting a safety improvement by changing behavior — driving faster with better brakes or headlights, following closer with ABS or AEB, risk homeostasis theory (Wilde), offset hypotheses, and unintended behavioral responses to vehicle or roadway safety countermeasures. The system-level behavioral response to a safety measure, distinct from risk_taking (a stable propensity to accept risk) and from adas_effectiveness (net measured benefit of a system).
