I’ve found this even with less critical “smart” systems like auto high beams and auto wipers. They’re so flaky that I end up paying more attention to them than I would if I just flicked the switches myself.

This may explain why stormtroopers in Star Wars can’t shoot straight..... In the future, this is just accepted as part of the job.

I haven’t been in any vehicle with any kind of driver assist akin to what’s talked about here or in Teslas, etc. but I have to think that, done correctly, with your unfettered focus on what the car’s systems are doing, at the ready to take over at any moment, would be more tiring/numbing than actually doing the…
