>>> As we get closer but not entirely to autonomous vehicles, figuring out how to communicate to users (at what point do we stop calling them drivers?) the necessary level of engagement (and notifying them when that level changes) is going to be increasingly critical.
For starters we could not call advanced lane assist software "autopilot" and we also should require hands on the wheel sensors until the automakers assume liability.
- ux-app 10y agoI agree that Autopilot was the wrong choice of name, I'd say it's reckless bordering on seriously negligent. The name was chosen on its marketing merits not based on its relation to the actual function it performs. That might be ok if you're designing a feature for the car stereo, not so for "Cruise Control v2.0"
