I’ll admit to being ignorant of how these cars are supposed to work. Under what circumstances does the car drive itself, and when does the driver need to be ready to take over? It seems that if the car is just rolling along by itself without any problems, it would be natural for the driver’s attention eventually to lapse, or for the driver to seek diversions or to fall asleep. When the driver needs to take over, he isn’t engaged enough to react in time.

I like driving and prefer to do it myself.

None of the current cars are level 4/5 autonomous driving yet, they’re level 2or3 and people are treating them like they’re 4or5 and crashing. Level 2/3 requires the drivers attention and readiness to react.

“and when does the driver need to be ready to take over? “

Driver is required to maintain control at all times.
