[LINK] itN: 'Third fatal Tesla Autopilot crash ...'

[Marghanita da Cruz]

While driving to canberra a couple of weeks ago, there was an 
interesting discussion about the role of the driver in self driving 
vehicles.

The problem is when it gets too hard the vehicle hands back 
resposibility to the driver. The problem is the delay in the driver 
realising the car has done this, then assessing the situation and acting.

So, the suggestion is that you have driver assist or driverless 
vehicles. I understand the problem is the road laws do not permit this.
