Indeed, you can concentrate on the overall traffic whilst being aware of exactly what the car is doing through the feedback in the wheel. I think of it as overseeing the work.
Also there are long stretches of driving which are with no or few cars around, where the car doesn’t do much interaction with other traffic, and stop and go queues where the speed is very slow. In both those situations not much happens where you would need to intervene. It is less effort driving.
- abalone 8y agoHow is “concentrating on the overall traffic” substantially different than concentrating during regular driving, unless it is less focused or attentive somehow? Aren’t you taking your attention away to a degree from the nitty gritty of tracking the obstacles in front of you and staying in lane? Citing the “long stretches with no cars” case really worries me that you are in fact paying less attention. It is not only traffic that you need to worry about hitting.
- bjelkeman-again 8y agoIn my experience the answer to the second question is: no. Part of the brain, which would otherwise be occupied with the details of physically driving can now supervise instead. You should try it.
