> In terms of user experience I would expect the car to continue to the destination. I ultimately hope this is a question answered by legal standards rather than by "user experience." If we're requiring drivers to be present even in autonomous cars, then they need to pull over and possibly take other alerting actions. > The commenter discussing the use of sensors to detect the state of the driver and act accordingly makes more sense. Are they asleep or merely in a diabetic coma? Can we tell? If we can't, should we even try this? Ultimately, I'm really concerned about this line: "Improvements in this case meant altering night-shift protocol to have two safety drivers instead of one." Humans may be bad drivers, I'd say a good look at the data would suggest otherwise; even so, the lesson for Waymo should be "Humans are also bad engineers."
