Dear Patrick, thank you for a wonderfully engaging article.
The whole arena of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) is evolving rapidly as vehicle manufacturers seek to deliver SAE level 2 to 3 assistance, with the aim of full autonomy (level 5) which, as you say, remains very elusive.
I suggest the human machine interface does not, on the whole, work well since to get the best from ADAS the driver has to be fully attentive. Driver monitor systems have been around for more than a decade, and while camera resolution / image processing / analysis have been transformed, the results are not really robust.
The vehicle manufacturers have sought to automate product development - much of this is positive, but tends towards interpolation of 'library' references - which crushes genuine product innovation. Rather, it encourages an endless parade of wafer thin improvements.
I am more than happy to tell Alexa it / zee / phay is a a complete and utter tool so that the little people running around the 'AI' system can then hear the conversation which is not supposed to be recorded.

AI is a tool. Not the master.
Andrew, thanks for the reply.
I concur that AI is but a tool. Will you tell Alexa or shall I?
