Humans will human. I'd you give someone a system that doesn't require their attention or put significant effort into holding it for long enough, they WILL quit focusing on it and become distracted. Especially in something like a car where they can't get up and move around to keep alert. If your system doesn't account for the human, your system is faulty.
