Ok, I can't imagine myself dropping attention from driving. As a member of a national roadkill prevention awareness org and having lost close friends on the road: I would never had imagined that it would require you to drop attention.
I imagined it was something you could enable and then disable by just breaking like cruise control or auto parking with toyotas.
But now I see how complex it becomes because of the wheel, even tesla owners in the comments of the article don't like to let their hands off the wheel.
The more automated cars become, the more drivers will start to trust them and pay less attention - especially when it’s advertised as full self driving.
Prime example would be the Uber test driver who felt she could trust the car enough to watch a TV show on her phone, when she was supposed to be supervising it.
Plus our attention naturally just starts to wander when the talk at hand is not that engaging.
