The entire premise of the article is flawed. If increasing road safety is the goal, we don't need to make drivers more engaged, we need to continue research to eliminate drivers entirely. The problem with articles like these are that they start from the presumption that self driving cars need to be perfect. They don't; they just have to be better than humans... and that's a pretty low bar. The middle ground of "driver assist" might be more dangerous, but the end goal of "no driver at all" will ultimately be much safer. Even if it still results in the occasional death, that's still going to be better than humans.
