Will we be able to take a nap behind the wheel of a future autonomous car? Probably not. Autopilots and other automated machinery require forms of human-operator supervision.
Autonomy, for example, is dependent on chips and sensors, such as GPS for position and magnometers for directional bearing, among others. That tech, at least in the near-term, has to be monitored by humans in real time in case the sensors become glitchy.
