Most automated driving systems aren't good making sure drivers pay attention, insurance group says (apnews.com)

Most electronic systems that take on some driving tasks for humans don’t adequately make sure drivers are paying attention, and they don’t issue strong enough warnings or take other actions to make drivers behave, according to an insurance industry study published Tuesday.

Only one of 14 partially automated systems tested by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety performed well enough to get an overall “acceptable” rating. Two others were rated “marginal,” while the rest were rated “poor.” No system received the top rating of “good.”

“Most of them don’t include adequate measures to prevent misuse and keep drivers from losing focus on what’s happening on the road,” said IIHS President David Harkey.

Most headline writers are not good making sure they are not missing words from the headline.

This is one of the big things I don't like about all the self-driving stuff. It lets drivers pay less attention to the road, or at least feel like they can. We do NOT need that.

If people are incapable of paying attention on their own, they should not be allowed to drive.
