Automation and Vigilance

A great article in the Atlantic - discussing how automation in cars decreases vigilance. It's the same challenge with autopilots - 99% of the time they are better than humans, but the other 1% of the time it's thrown back to a human with insufficient time to react or resolve.

The other challenge - especially with consumer goods such as cars - is how big business weaponizes the TOS to blame the driver for what is fundamentally a systems fault.
