Correct. But distracting driving is happening today without allowing the driver to physically disconnect from the driving system. The manufacturers, willing to sell the new Advanced Driver Assisting Systems (ADAS) are saying that it would be safe for the drivers to actually disconnect from the driving systems (hands off the steering wheel and feet away from the pedals) which is simply insane.

ADAS are designed as an additional safety level for ACTIVE driving, when the driver is 100% driving the car, and not for a potentially much more dangerous situation, when the driver (as encouraged by the manufacturer) is completely disconnected but supposedly "alert" at all times.
