Similar semantics with aircraft and autopilot systems. It reduces operator workloads but you train or disable it and hand fly the aircraft for fun and to refresh your experience periodically.

Someone who uses this technology because they dislike driving will always pose a danger. Those who enjoy driving will be more diligent.



I think people who seek enjoyment in driving will actually pose a greater danger. If you need to get your enjoyment out of the driving itself you will start to exhibit more dangerous behaviour, accelerating faster, driving higher speeds, overtaking more. Nothing is more boring for me as a driver than staying between 2 white dotted lines on a 4 lane highway going 20 km/h under the speedlimit trailing a truck or other traffic, so I either start overtaking frequently or I get bored and distracted because of to little stimulus. But with ADAS I don't care, I just relax and let it do most of the work while I take in the scenery or an audiobook.
