It's the same with all driver aids introduced.

They develop em because less talented drivers make mistakes
Then somebody decides to make em mandatory...
Nett result those aids reduce the skill level of already poor drivers even more.

ABS
then drive in the wet with wider tires thinking the car's ABS can save em in every situation

Traction control
Get stuck in 2cm of snow because they don't turn it off

Intelligent lane assist
so they can check facebook while driving

Intelligent speed assist and adaptive cruise control
So they don't have to bother with adjusting speed in busy traffic


Emergency brake assist
So they can tail gate more

Pedestrian Auto Emergency Braking
pay less attention in urban areas

Cars with DRL lights, set to auto
Drive without rear lights in dusk/fog/snow/low hanging sun


Idiots playing games relying on autopilot is pretty much the end stage of all that.
Anybody caught doing that should have his drivers license revoked for the rest of his life. : Get a f'ing cab cause you ain't a driver.
