text: There would also be too many distractions while in a driverless car. People text and drive all the time already but if they didn't have to drive they wouldn't pay attention to the road at all. The companies that are making the cars are suggesting ideas of how to get the driver's attention when it is their turn to drive, but how well would it work? One of the ideas being suggested was entertainment systems built into the car that would shut off while the driver needed to take the wheel. Which isn't a bad idea until you consider the driver's own personal devices that they would bring with them.
