If that's the case, then I think Mercedes chose the best option. It's when doing long drives on highways it's really useful to be able to read a book, work, play a board game with the passengers, talking in a focused way, nap etc.
It's most likely also much easier to make a car drive autonomously on highways versus on smaller roads, city roads, dirt roads etc.
- Dylan16807 4y agoIt's not safe to nap, but you can do the rest of that. They're promising 10 seconds of warning when the car wants you to take over.
- ZainRiz 4y agoI wonder how much of those 10 seconds would the car spend trying to notify the driver. "Warning, take the wheel! Death imminent" takes a good 6 seconds to say :P
- Dylan16807 4y agoI think you should try actually saying that out loud. If I don't pause after the word "wheel", I can say that at a reasonable pace in two seconds. Just "Warning, take the wheel!" gives you time to pause between each repetition and still say it 5 times.
- rnjesus 4y agothe “hull alarm” sound from eve online would be perfect for this
