One thing I learned for "Design of Everyday things" is that when someone blame themselves for not correctly using a product, it is bad design of the product at fault instead.
In car which offers self driving restrictions people are going to look away. If looking away caused an accident will the be blaming the drivers? Will drivers be blaming themselves? These UXs are life threatening.
- ben_w 3y agoAgreed. I'll only count the tech as truly ready when the cars don't ship with steering wheels.
- lotsofpulp 3y agoI would accept the manufacturer accepting full liability while self driving as an alternative.
- Rebelgecko 3y agoI think currently only Mercedes is doing that (and there's limits--Mercedes won't go to jail for you if you self drive home while intoxicated)
- MattRix 3y agoFirst of all, a car is not an “everyday thing”, it is a complex machine that requires special training to operate. Secondly, this is why driver monitoring systems are so important. This system specifically talks about eye monitoring.
- smusamashah 3y agoIt's just another everyday machine that requires trained people to operate. Doesn't change the fact that machines designed for trained professionals also cause accidents just because they were poorly designed. The book mentions airplane accidents a lot and how that industry learned from them and improved designs as well procedures. Driver monitoring system like that will just be adding another layer which can fail in so many unpredictable ways.
