As I said, all studies I could find show that’s not how the human brain works. For almost everyone it’s easier to focus on the road when they actively have to drive. And this is not even exclusive to self driving vehicles, there are plenty of accidents on monotonous roads because drivers lose attention when they don’t actively need to do anything for long periods.
When it comes to driving, the human brain works however it is trained to work. I know from personal experience.
I used to get highway hypnosis, too, before I trained myself to drive with constant vigilance. Driving is a complex skill that takes years of intentional training to master, yet most people stop trying to improve the moment they get their license. It’s no wonder that virtually every person on the road is terrible at driving.
