I find it terrifying how auto pilot cars give the driver a false sense of security. When a car has statistically proven claim that it is safe, drivers are more likely to have less focus on the car. It’s like comparing reaction times of a manually driving individual to that of a passenger. What seems to be 6 seconds may in reality feel like a split second due to the lack of context. I want to say that there are overhead costs to getting back into driving mode when you haven’t been fully aware of your surroundings. This happens with a much lesser degree when I’m using cruise control, but I still avoid it when there is a fair number of cars on the road. If I have to be well aware of the warnings that the system puts out, I might as well stick to no auto pilot. The chances are low, but any chance is enough to keep me from using it. the roads are designed for humans after all.
