^^^^^I'm curious why you don't feel it will cause you to be less attentive. Seems like knowing the car will CYA if you make a minor screw-up would tend to cause a person to, at least unconsciously, be a bit less watchful.
I can understand the logic in what you're saying, however, I have spent my life operating farm equipment. During certain seasons I have spent 16 hour days fighting all day long to stay awake. Over the last 15 years or so GPS steering has taken over the meticulous job of steering the equipment. You'd think it would cause me to really struggle with staying awake but in fact the opposite is true....I find that I am much more alert and pay closer attention to the machine that I am operating now that I don't have to concentrate on steering it. We actually haven't taken delivery of this car yet so I guess I'll know a little more after driving it a bit .....if my wife will let me.
