Abstract: This perspective article explores the impacts that the transition period to fully autonomous driving will have on human reliability and how these challenges will become major hurdles in the safe deployment of the technology. In particular, the analysis focuses on the potential contribution of Automated Driving Systems (ADS) towards safety, the specific role of human errors in this field and how driver distraction and its associated risks are exacerbated by the introduction of ADS. Additionally, the link between Autonomous Vehicle (AV) usage and risky driving behaviour is discussed, as well as the issue of interaction between AVs and other road users.
