The biggest use of some kind of driver assist system is something that can keep me going straight and at a constant speed on a relatively open road while I twist open a bottle cap and take a sip of a drink. Making me have a death stare out of the windshield to avoid disengagement is about as useful as standard cruise control. Except standard cruise control isn't going to be prone to making a mistake about whether or not I'm paying attention, and then stopping my car because it isn't satisfied.

- alkonaut 8y agoRight. Keeping in lane for 2 secs when you spill your coffee or the kid screams or you do something else that makes you lose your concentration for a short while is great. I don’t need to sleep or work for an hour during a commute. Not now not tomorrow. I can drive the damn thing or at least watch it drive itself. And like mr Hotz I believe that’s what it will be like for decades to come. My prediction is flying cars before completely self driving ones. And not some novelty one person quadcopter. I mean the proper Blade Runner ones.
