Comment Technology isn't what it was promised to be (Score 2) 265
The evidence of what many of us have believed is finally coming out. This technology isn't what it was promised to be and can't replace humans behind the wheel. The evidence points to the fact, because the technology isn't smart enough you still need a human in the seat monitoring what the car is doing, so the human can take over instantly when the system meets a situation where it finally decides it doesn't know what to do. This was proven in NTSA's crash analysis of the Phoenix fatality where the system finally called for driver control with less than two seconds before the crash. So, if we need a human to constantly monitor the system, what benefit does the system really provide: a false sense of security???
