How do you feel about cruise control? Or automatic transmissions? I like semi-autonomous systems because they still take some of the cognitive load off of driv

  You need to still have some kind of important task to keep your focus, otherwise you get these kinds of accidents.

  > How do you feel about cruise control? Or automatic transmissions? Cruise control is great. I still control where the car goes though. I still have to be 100% attentive to what the vehicle is doing. At no point am I relying on the vehicle to keep me safe. Automatic transmissions are great too, except for very specific use cases. > I like semi-autonomous systems because they still take some of the cognitive load off of driving. Paying attention is still easier than paying attention plus constantly having to adjust speed/steering/etc. I think I would be more open to 'smart' information systems - beeps when leaving a lane, back up cameras, etc. Anything that takes piloting control is a step too far for me at this time. Cruise control is largely proven to work. I never worry about it failing when I use it.
