Re: What about the driver?
The driver was playing Frogger.
A car either drives itself safely or it doesn't, a human in a driving seat is just a scape goat.
I used to drive 100,000+ miles a year as a tech support engineer and half the time I was on autopilot, sometimes with bad results. I never hurt anyone else but I could have. Being driven by a car that seems to know what it is doing will just lull the driver into a false sense of security and they'll lose attention.
It'd be better the other way around, the human drives the car and the computer intervenes if the human makes a mistake.
