While self-driving technology is still in its infancy, passengers are quickly coming to trust their cars to operate without them. Tesla owners play games and even sleep as their cars drive themselves, and Alphabet-owned Waymo even made an ad showing passengers in the backseat of its autonomous minivan yawning and taking selfies.

But taking your eyes off the road, even in an autonomous vehicle, can be dangerous, as the world realized after the video of Uber’s self-driving car killing a pedestrian emerged. The video showed that the car’s safety driver had been distracted in the moments leading up to the accident. These self-driving tests, along with any car with autonomous features on the road today like Teslas and Cadillacs, require a human to pay attention at all times—though that seldom is the case.
