There are certainly a lot of details like that to take into consideration. That is a great point to bring up.

That money on the other hand could be used to better train people how to drive. Did you know tests actually proved that people with Anti-Lock Brake systems were more likely to get into a serious car accident than people without? Apparently people with the extra technology become more reckless in their driving habits. I've been to some countries outside the US and their normal every day drivers are like formula 1 racers compared to US drivers... Interesting notion.

We see on the highways how simple things like cell phones and radios can distract a driver. Unless you have a system that can fully take over (or at least safely disable the vehicle) in the event that the driver is unresponsive when then "need" to be in charge, it's a failure in my opinion. We need to provide people with safer technologies, not more liabilities. If they, as a result of this study, come up with a very safe manner to handle all conceivable contingencies, then I'll reconsider my stance. @ Evan

It's actually been done before by the CMU NavLab -- back in the 80s. The live demo they did in CA went flawlessly -- it was never implemented because you need either a fully autonomous system or a fully human one. Hybrid solutions still require too much responsibility from the human drive while implying a lower attentiveness requirement. That puts the hybrid (human+robot) vehicle at high risk, thus jeopardizing the safety for all drivers... @Anastasios
