    I really hope that’s not true. I am not sure about state of self-driving cars, but there still should be a conscious person in the front seat.

      Oh yes it is true, there is a video of it. And yeah it’s like that, it requires som attention from the driver but people bypass security stuff they have or simply do the bare minimum so the auto driving continues. At the end they break the law regardless but it allows them this crazy stuff.

      The only exceptions are some cars that’s re completely driverless and act as taxis, I think Waymo and google has them as those are allowed to have blind people or people without a license and people usually are on back seats or similar.

      No country in the world currently allows the driver to focus attention on something else.

        If you buy a very expensive Mercedes with a subscription, and drive it at a very specific speed on a few very specific stretches of road in Germany, you can.
