In spite of our advancing technological ability to harness automated driving, this article is creepy.   What this piece conveys is that automated driving on the straight and narrow two-lane route is OK, as is slow down and acceleration to a modest degree, but the " driver " has to be alert at all times to correct for adjustments and possible challenges within the restricted band of auto control.    Under these prerequisites the driver might as well be in direct control of the driving  in any case.    I can see a substantial increase in police monitoring of  'distracted driving' as car owners take their eyes off what the system is doing.   Likewise, may Heaven help us all as major software glitches and global recalls occur, following accidents and possibly deaths on a significant scale.    This automated driving dream still has a long way to go before we can surrender responsible and completely safe driving control to software-based automatons.
