    The people that abuse the automated systems are probably the same people who would be breaking rules of the road anyway.

    IDK why I didn’t think of this, it seems very likely now that you mention it.

      The troubling part is, that’s a lot if people. There are so many people texting and driving it’s insane. And if you trust the vehicle when it’s not truly capable of being trusted that way, you might prevent some accidents, but you’re also going to cause accidents where that system is weak, and you might run into those situations more frequently because you’re not paying attention and trusting it too much.

        it would be trivial to block texting on phones in cars, but telcos won’t do shit until they get sued.

          It’s easy to block texting if you’re moving fast, but how do you expect them to tell the difference between being the driver or passenger?
