text: The last issue that comes to mind is, does the driver need to pay attention if the car is totally driverless? I think that the real attention getter with driverless cars is that the driver wouldn't have to watch the road and could be doing stuff with the passengers in the back seat. The only problem with this is, is the car fully able to correctly drive itself through traffic and dangerous situations or does someone need to pay attention the whole time? If they could fully promise drivers that the car is capable of driving through any situation then it would be okay.
