Semi-automated driving systems that can help drive your car are not doing enough to ensure drivers are staying focused on the road, according to first-of-its-kind testing from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

And so you see people who either intentionally, or unintentionally, misuse these systems and get themselves into trouble.
The report comes as concerns over driver assistance systems grow among lawmakers. That prompted an exchange between National Transportation Safety Board Chair Jennifer Homendy and Democratic Sen. Ed Markey of Massachusetts during a March 6 hearing before the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation. 'It sounds like, to me, it's not ready for primetime?' Markey asked.
