No, I mean what's the point of turning on autonomous driving mode if you have to keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road at all times? That's worse than actually driving the car yourself.
- b7we5b7a 3y agoNot having to constantly apply a ton of micro-corrections for keeping the speed, keeping the car centered, slowing down to cars in front, ... takes away a TON of mental fatigue, even if you're still supervising. Over time you learn the 1-2 situations where the car potentially messes up and you increase vigilance, otherwise highways are usually a smooth ride. The first time I took the trip to my parents in my Tesla, I almost did the entire trip without stopping (~300km), whereas with my old car, which had no assistance systems at all, I would have to stop after 1h from being too tired already (Switzerland has lots of speed limit changes and frequent traffic jams near the weekends).

- wilg 3y agoIt’s actually way better. You basically just are monitoring for mistakes. It really is less taxing.
- sifar 3y agoI personally consider it more dangerous as this less attention required breeds complacency which may inevitably result in me not being able to intervene when the it makes a mistake. As opposed to being alert all time when one is driving.
