you cant expect the human driver to be ready to take over autopilot in any meaningful way. if the driver is alert enough to the conditions and physically ready at the appropriate controls to do that, then they are already driving. still, despite it not being based on science, but legal reasons, companies pretend that humans can "take over" when alerted to. maybe a lawsuit will change that idiocy.
- jimmaswell 7y agoA few people dying of their own irresponsibility does not warrant ruining it for the rest of us.
- patejam 7y agoThere are other people on the road, it's not just the drivers that are impacted by this. Calling it "Autopilot" is what's irresponsible.
- jimmaswell 7y agoPilots still need to take over sometimes despite the autopilot. The name is fine.
- protomyth 7y agoA lot of people said the exact same thing about lawn darts and a whole host of products and activities, but sadly, society doesn't go that way.
- modzu 7y agoim all for the technology and accepting it will be fallible, just not for putting the blame for its errors onto the human non-driver
