>> when under autopilot I care a lot about what happens when autopilot disengages. I truly and honestly believe it is a biological, psychological fact, that autopilot will result in less attentive occupants in the vehicle. We're going to blame "drivers" - who are really now just passengers, expected to sometimes take the wheel - for accidents caused by autopilots disengaging, because the driver "should have been in control". Except that most people are going to be mentally unable to maintain the kind of focus needed to be able to take over a failed autopilot. Let me put it this way: I believe that today, if my mother were to cause an accident, she would have done something tangible to be deserving of being "at fault". In a future where my mother can be considered at fault for killing someone because she failed to take over an autopilot in under a second... that is not a future I want to experience. I'm afraid of the moment we begin blaming people for loss of life caused by technology expecting us to interfere when it is innately difficult to do so.
