Bad actors already do this, which clearly doesn’t stop bad apps from appearing in the play store. If the main reason why this new thing exists is to prevent malware and such, and it immediately fails to do that, what other motives do you think there could be?
You may have apps on iOS and Android, but you’re either very naive or privileged enough that can’t see a problem with this whole verification.
It’s not safer. I know because I’ve driven one. Not only does it make it easier to get distracted for just a moment, but also, you pay less attention to the surroundings, handling of the vehicle, situational awareness, etc. Because you know you don’t “have to”.
And when it makes mistakes (and it does quite often) you’re less prepared to deal with it.
Now you’re going to parrot “but you’re supposed to be attentive at all times”, and yes, you’re right, but we’re humans. And yes, you can absolutely extrapolate that FSD is less safe because of it, because it definitely puts the final safely measure on a weak part: us.
Adaptive cruise control plus some level of Lane assist is, in my experience, safer. You’re still driving but you can relax your muscles, therefore allowing you to be less tired. More so if you have a manual transmission.
