- Allegedly - watching Harry Potter while driving.
Who knows what might have been triggered after a crash like that? Maybe his ipad turned on and started playing some music or something strange like that.
While this is a very sad incident, my question is more future focused. Can a software update fix this blindness or does it require a hardware upgrade?
I do think the name is dumb but I would imagine you get a warning when it is activated.
They should rename it after the guy who died. Eg: Bob Smith = Smith mode. "Bob Smith died because he was not paying attention, please use Smith mode responsibly."
Interestingly one of the leading causes of general aviation accidents is CFIT, controlled flight into terrain. One major cause is pilots not paying attention to automation (autopilot).

If we don't want people to treat it like autopilot, maybe we should come up with a different name.
Maybe:
"You need to pay a little attention because we are overconfident about AI" - pilot
