I can't answer, but I can't imagine myself being focused enough to be able to react really quickly to an immediate danger on the road if I'm not actively driving the car. I doubt most people would be able to do this.
I don't think I'm going to use a self driving car in self driving mode as long as I am expected to watch out for danger and take over if needed. If I need to constantly monitor, I might as well drive. Self-driving is only compelling if this means I can free some time for me while the car is driving, or at least make driving safer. Otherwise, it certainly just makes driving more boring and more dangerous.
Until then, I'm more a proponent of making driving easier by removing the manual gears so my focus can be better directed toward the road and less toward the gears. Engines do it better than me anyway.
Exactly, if the self-driving is good enough after some time you will reduce your attention and will not be able to quickly take over if the car suddenly fails to self-drive in a corner for example.
