There could be strategies to unhabituate driver's brain. For example, randomly swerving the car into oncoming traffic, just for a short moment. Make it seem unsafe, while keeping it safe. Make it random enough to avoid habituation.

Make it seem unsafe, while keeping it safe. Make it random enough to avoid habituation. Then what's the point of self driving? Thrills? No one would want it. My Honda does something similar with its lane-centering feature (it will disengage after maybe 15 seconds of no driver input), but that feature is so limited it's not annoying.
- gregmac 5y agoThis has a strong possibility of making things worse by conditioning the human driver to react with "oh, it's just the auto-pilot testing me", and thus not reacting properly when it does actually malfunction.
- tra3 5y agoWhile your specific example is a terrible idea, the overall thought makes sense. Maybe limit autopilot so that for every mile, or hour spent on autopilot you have to drive an hour manually? Make it random? Also stop calling it autopilot because it implies self driving capabilities that are not yet fully baked.
- Geee 5y agoYeah, that was kind of tongue in cheek, but I feel it should randomly scare you to actually be effective. It's probably a good idea if you had to drive manually for a few minutes randomly, but the switch should happen quite suddenly so that you need to be paying attention constantly.
