Volkswagen has shared an insight into how their Emergency Assist technology leaps into action when a driver falls unconscious at the wheel of a moving car
Will we see a day when manually driving a car is as illegal and socially unacceptable as driving drunk or without a seatbelt? I’d guess so. Tech like this will become standardized along the way to full Level 5 self-driving.
There’s a whole demographic of people aged 80+ who face restrictions on their driving as they age further. I would expect Volkswagen and others to be marketing car software along these lines tailored to their needs and problems.
It should become as frowned upon as no seatbelts, at least. I imagine there will be a grey area as long as things stay at 3/4 and you have to do things manually sometimes, though, so no prison time like with drunk driving.
