Then it's not full self-driving, is it? If I have to pay attention, I might as well just drive the thing anyway.
This was the problem I had with the TV Show Knight Rider. They come up with a flawless fully self driving car and they put it in a two-seater sports car? Come on, you might as well just drive it! What I wanted was having it in an RV so I could have it drive me to school while I took my last-minute shower and got dressed.

Exactly. Its actually worse, having to babysit it and continually judge whether or not to take over, than to just do it yourself.
My city, in its infinite wisdom has unleashed a fleet of “fully automated” public transport vehicles on the downtown streets......but there is always an operator behind the wheel “just in case”......doesn’t sound like the manufacturer trusts there own design and tech too much does it?
One of ‘em has already lost control and hit a street light before the human could gain control.
This town can piss away money on boondoggles like nobody’s business. SMH
