Wish the auto-driving had worked. Perfect example of how humans shouldn’t be in charge of anything. |
While she shouldn’t have been watching tv, it still is an indictment of the current state of auto drive tech though. We already know that humans are very poor at continuous monitoring of what is supposed to be an automated system. But it appears the auto drive system as currently being tested failed this time, and the regulatory framework which allowed testing of a system which is not yet ready needs to answer some questions as well.
