meanwhile actual human drivers continue to get worse at driving, partially caused by the many driving “assistants” which won’t stop making seemingly random noises. while also enabling the driver to look at their phone while completely ignoring traffic “because they have lane keeping and distance control”
cars around me have my full attention, because my car doesn’t interfere wuth my ability to drive. (2002 yaris btw)
Say what you want about Henry Ford, he wanted to make a car that he himself would like to drive. Current management rides in the back seat and makes decisions based on marketing, not actual driving needs.
i would like to say Akio Toyoda does things very differently, and i love him for it.
this is the guy that made the GR yaris, the GR Supra and the 86 line possible. not all of them great cars, but a good start after 20 years of FWD corollas.
Every degree of automation increases the time it takes a human to regain full control. This, above all else, is the betrayal in Tesla’s implementation. We cannot tell someone to pay attention to something they aren’t doing. It’s not how people are wired.

The exception that proves the rule.
