What are environmental signals, such as lights and sounds, that the driver’s senses can detect called?

Correct answer

Sensory stimuli.

Sensory stimuli. Driving requires detecting and processing environmental information, especially through sight and hearing. A sensation is the experience produced by detecting a stimulus; it is not limited to touch or skin. Environmental stimuli are not solely sounds: lights, signs and other users’ movements provide visual information.
