Agree, seems logical and for safety reasons, to have someone immediately available to intervene should an emergency situation occurs.
In fact, recent accidents on auto-pilot happened when the computer signals conflicting reading alerting driver to take control and did not.
Drriver can be napping or doing posting on forum on the wheel but should take the wheels when computer is seeing a mis-reading of road conditions.
I actually do not really agree with that. Relying on a driver who is otherwise disengaged from the process to take over quickly in an emergency situation is a recipe for disaster. It's virtually impossible to make a proper split-second decision under such conditions; to suddenly have a klaxon go off while one's doing the crossword and have to take over for the computer when one hits black ice (or whatever) is a very tall order indeed. It's even harder if one is awoken from sleep.
