>But that's the problem with self-driving cars. Damn close isn't good enough. A miss is as good as a mile Maybe close is good enough. The problem as I see it that people usually don't seem to be focused on is that it's impossible for humans to monitor the situation while doing other stuff. You can only do that when you're far away from other things like in a plane or on a boat. How can we simultaneously believe it's possible to instantly engage with driving and that people can't be trusted to text or make phone calls while driving?

How can we simultaneously believe it's possible to instantly engage with driving and that people can't be trusted to text or make phone calls while driving? Exactly. Driving while distracted by phones is well-known to be very dangerous, which is why it's against the law in many places. Encouraging drivers who might need to take over in an emergency to zone out and focus on other activities seems unwise for the same reason. This is why the middle levels on the self-driving scale could be very dangerous.
