> This certification means that you can legally sit behind the wheel without actually looking at the road. Under certain conditions, Level 3 autonomy allows a car to drive itself as long as the human behind the wheel is able to take control at any time
Not looking at the road and taking over at a moments notice seem to be contradictory items. Also who/what is auditing the drivers attention?
- fpoling 6y agoIt could be that the car alerts a driver the moment the driver needs to pay attention to the road. So presumably it could be ok to use phone, but not sleeping.

- jessriedel 6y ago"At any time" is not the same as "at a moment's notice". If the system is robust enough such that the human is always given, say, 5 seconds warning before they need to intervene, they can safely read/write (but not sleep), which would be a huge benefit. Elsewhere in this thread, someone gave examples where a human takeover is needed but there is significant warning time: (1) exiting a highway to an unimproved road and (2) coming upon construction work with human-directed traffic control. Driver attention is monitored with cameras in essentially all Level-2-and-above autonomous cars, I believe. The machine vision is good enough to detect sleeping.
