Oh gosh no. I can see it now, google self driving car with built in “captcha” where it checks your response time to the “fire drill” alert tone to take over driving. That’ll train us. Probably the perfect time to show an advert too. Our attention is pulled, and the adrenaline is pumping…

Or would that just train us to ignore the ‘take over tone’?

Google dropped this approach a long time ago precisely because of this problem: their employees were zoning out

What is your point? If the car is actually self driving, then there is no need for human interaction. The issue is this is not, therefore the driver still needs to be engaged enough to respond

Sorry, no strong point. I was just pondering that the issue is inattention, and imagining google, who spends the most money, ever, on capturing human attention, taking the next dystopian step.
