I think the whole idea is a nightmare. Anything that makes drivers need to think less and de-skills them over the long term is bad news. Most people don't think enough when they are driving as it is.

I'm not even convinced that normal cruise control is a good idea. It would be interesting to know if anyone has ever done some research on the relative level of accidents in places where more cars are automatics with cruise control.


QFT. Once these become prevalent we'll have people simulataneously shaving, checking e-mail, and reading the newspaper while doing 80 MPH on the NJ Turnpike. Frightening indeed.

It seems like they do that already! Fortunately I commute by subway now, but when I was driving It alarmed me how many men were shaving and how many women were putting on makeup. Then there's the morons reading the newspaper...
