When you focus perfectly on your phone, imagine sitting in a car – playing a video game, scrolling social media, or even closing dozens. A recently revealed video shows that a self-driving car is playing a game inside the car, which has ignited the fresh concerns about safety and human responsibility on the road.
Myth
Despite the advances, most of the self-driving cars available today still require complete attention to the driver. These vehicles are designed to assist, not replacement, human behind the wheel. When drivers consider autonomy as a free pass to zone, it creates a dangerous difference between technology capabilities and real -world use.
Why is this a safety time bomb
The video is a Stark Reminder: Self-Driving Technology is not silly. Sudden obstacles, complex traffic conditions, and system errors still demand human intervention. A distracted driver who plays is not ready to control immediately – and this delay may be frightening.
Strong oversight requires
The incident fuel the call for strict driver monitoring systems, better rules and public awareness campaigns. Autonomous cars may be future, but right now, the role of a driver is important to keep the roads safe.
Ground level
Until a completely autonomous vehicle becomes a reality, “hand-off” does not mean “mind-closure”. Security depends on drivers, which are cautious, aware and ready – even when the car works mostly.
