My whole concern is you sit there for say 2 months letting the car drive itself and you sit paying attention and all is good.
Then you go on a 2-3 hour drive, maybe to the really boring Illinois highways (just drove north on them, and yea, straight and boring) so you nod off a little or pay less attention mainly because you can, and life has been good with no issues.
How do you know to take sudden control of the car to save your life, or can you even possibly understand and react that fast?
Is sitting facing forward now a more dangerous position? what if EVERYONE faces backwards in these for safety (granted some will get sick doing it), or maybe you could be better protected laying down?
