The most interesting aspect that the article raises is the hand-over from automated driving mode to human controlled mode and potential difficulty for humans to shift their attention. What a fascinating problem that is going to play a part in every AI assisted job in the future.
Imagine reading HN from a mobile phone and then suddenly shifting to driving mode: it's obvious that you will be very disoriented for a few seconds. Thus, we need to constraint the consumption setting: projecting a screen to the front window is likely to shave a couple of seconds off from the disorientation phase. initially both mobile phones and sleeping are banned while driving self-driving cars. Constantly projecting extra peripheral sensory information to the screen is also needed. This would be immensely useful already today without self-driving cars.
However, it's obvious that the shift of attention will take a couple of seconds thus the car can't change the control mode in dangerous situations. It's likely that there will be self-driving zones like highways and the
control is changed mostly at borders of these
