I agree, these systems are fundamentally a very good thing and the more cars they're in, the safer we are on the road.
I just don't think they'll be substituting human beings at the wheel of cars in the near future, and I personally think it's not so good of an idea to frame it like that.
I mean, we've only automated some, not all metros all over the world, and no passenger trains at all. If we haven't figured that out yet, I can't see how self-driving cars are supposedly just around the corner.
Many people here are talking about buying an iPad and the pencil, but if all you're doing is reading papers I think this is a massive overspend. There are many inexpensive android tablets that come with pencils plenty good enough for handwriting or non-artistic drawing.
Of course, you say you have a job so you're likely not to need to buy the cheapest thing possible (even if you don't, you're not forced to buy an iPad, Samsung's tablet software is quite good), but I don't want someone with the same use case, who might just be a student, to get the impression they need to spend a grand to read pdfs.
