Driver tricked Autopilot into activating it
A study shows that when driver assistance systems are activated, drivers are more likely to be distracted, such as eating or using their mobile phones. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety monitored 29 drivers using Volvo Pilot Assist and 14 using Tesla Autopilot. The researchers found that drivers quickly learned the timing of distraction alerts, thereby tricking the system into thinking they were paying attention. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) studied the behavior of more than 40 drivers using two different types of cars and driver-assistance systems and found that the test subjects used the technology to help them multitask while driving. The researchers also noted that drivers quickly adapted to the systems' distraction alerts, tricking the cars into thinking they were paying full attention to the road. var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:()}; adpushup.que.push(function() { if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP"){ adpushup.triggerAd("4d84e4c9 -9937-4f84-82c0-c94544ee6f2a"); } else{ adpushup.triggerAd("6a782b01-facb-45f3-a88f-ddf1b1f97657"); } }); MORE: Pennsylvania bans drivers from using cell phones in…
