Dangers in trusting an ”almost perfect machine”

Interesting article on over trusting ADAS. “We are asking humans to supervise systems designed to make supervision feel pointless. A machine that constantly fails keeps you sharp. A machine that works perfectly needs no oversight. But a machine that works almost perfectly? That’s where the danger lies. ”

Article is paywalled, but I will say that after mostly driving with InnoDrive, I now have a healthy distrust of it.

Habits develop quickly.
