They don't have to implement SAE 2 and if their implementation isn't safe, doing the best they can might not be good enough.

I think there may be a fundamental flaw with lane keeping. It removes the driver from doing anything but still requires constant vigilance. That might be asking too much. My ADD is too strong to wach the road without having to do any part of the driving. I suspect a lot of people are the same way.

If most drivers are just keeping their hand on the wheel while day dreaming, Telsa should be forced to just disable the feature until the tech is ready for Level 3. Or use the Level 2 tech as a backup only.




Heck I refuse to use cruise control at all because it makes me get board. My personal solution to avoid boardemn while driving is to drive faster. Clearlly I am not a safe driver but, I'm going to need full automation to help me out.


There's a good chance that's what happens. Auto-braking (level 1) is likely to become standard, like anti-skid braking. Full automatic driving (levels 3-5) will be options. Semi-automatic steering (level 2) may disappear as the higher levels start to work. The shared responsibility between driver and control system is too messy at level 2.
