speed distance perception

Perception of speed and distance: speed estimation and production, speed adaptation after prolonged driving, distance and headway estimation, perceptual underestimation of speed in fog or at night, and misperception of closing speed. The perceptual judgment of how fast and how far, distinct from time_to_collision_looming (judging time until contact from expansion cues) and from speed_choice (the behavioral decision of what speed to drive).
