Extensive research has been conducted to explore vehicle lane changes, while the study on cut-ins has not received sufficient attention. The existing studies have not addressed the fundamental question of why studying cut-ins is crucial, despite the extensive investigation into lane changes. To tackle this issue, it is important to demonstrate how cut-ins, as a special type of lane change, differ from other lane changes. In this paper, we explore to compare driving characteristics of cut-ins and other lane changes based on naturalistic driving data. The highD dataset is employed to conduct the comparison. We extract all lane-change events from the dataset and exclude events that are not suitable for our comparison. Lane-change events are then categorized into the cut-in events and other lane-change events based on various gap-based rules. Several performance metrics are designed to measure the driving characteristics of the two types of events. We prove the significant differences between the cut-in behavior and other lane-change behavior by using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test. The results suggest the necessity of conducting specialized studies on cut-ins, offering valuable insights for future research in this field.
