Just one question, though: “The Future of Automated Driving”: If it’s automated, how can it be called “driving”? Would it not be better framed as “automated motoring”? Am interested in getting your take on this.
I guess I would have to agree then considering the operative word here is “controlling.”
That being said, the autonomous vehicle would, in my mind’s eye, be “controlling” and as such, logic would then have it that the computer or computers controlling such would then be “controllers”, therefore putting the computer(s) in the driver’s seat, figuratively speaking, of course!!
Thanks for taking the time to reply and to clarify!

Webster's defines "driving" as "The act of controlling the movement, course, or direction of a vehicle..."
That definition doesn't preclude a machine performing the act
Interesting.
