Having to be prepared to take over at any second is more tiring than doing the other stuff myself. You have to be even more alert because you're changing mental states.
For most people, lane keeping and speed control is ingrained enough they do it subconsciously.
- vl 6y agoHave you actually tried it? Because entire point I’m making is that it’s not like this in practice. You get used to it quickly and know when you need to monitor it and be ready and when you can relax.

Tesla's can swerve into an obstacle or oncoming traffic at any moment, it only happens maybe once per 100.000 driving hours, but at that moment the human behind the wheel is probably in the relax mode and completely incapable of taking over. That's not just theory, the article describes there have been 3 serious accidents already with "self driving" Teslas that crashed while being monitored by the driver.
