Sure. But we're jumping into the deep end by legally allowing the driver to be exempt from distracted driving laws. There's a big difference between testing the technology and relying on the technology.

legally allowing the driver to be exempt from distracted driving laws.

Can you cite the legislation that exempts drivers using driver assistance systems from paying attention while driving?

There's a big difference between testing the technology and relying on the technology.

No one should be relying on the technology.

California, Nevada, and Germany all have laws for it. The article this comment section is based on specifically mentions California and Nevada.
