It doesn't necessarily have to scale linearly like that, but I assume 10 miles on the highway is safer than 100 miles on the highway.

- dheera 5y agoHumans are particularly bad at highway driving long distances because they get highway hypnosis or fall alseep. On local roads on the other hand humans tend to do a good job reasoning with situations.
- TchoBeer 5y agoIf this is true then why do 25% of car accidents happen in first 3 minutes of driving
- vntok 5y agoBecause manoeuvers are hard. And whatever the task a human takes, they need up to a few minutes to get "in the zone" and fully focused on it. This includes driving.
