    if there’s no one in the driver’s seat to pay attention, then why would you have a wheel to intervene “just in case”?

      Has anyone proven a technology for that long and that consistently that it is safe. I’ve seen quite the contrary and sensible legislators expect a human there in case of issue.I’d expect that for years before a reasonable level ofconfidentce is reached.
