No, it’s just unsafe (and presumably illegal in most places) to operate a motor vehicle without maintaining constant awareness of the road and control of the vehicle. There’s no additional training or license that permits you to stop maintaining that awareness and control, just like there’s no additional training that permits you to drive under the influence of alcohol.
- throwaway0a5e 5y ago>There’s no additional training or license that permits you to stop maintaining that awareness and control Being a cop on duty often exempts you from distracted driving laws. I'm not sure how they can do stuff on a laptop while driving safely but I assume the state knows best. /s
- kemitche 5y agoThe theoretical "additional license" would be in addition to maintaining awareness, not a substitution. So all the normal road awareness, plus being informed of likely FSD failure conditions, and anticipating them / being ready and capable to intercede.
- tshaddox 5y agoIf you maintain control at all times, you shouldn’t need additional training for any of the car’s features. We don’t require additional training for cruise control, lane-keep assistance, anti-lock brakes, etc.
- ectopod 5y agoI agree, but if you have to maintain constant control of the vehicle then it isn't self-driving.
