Highway driving especially gets monotonous and easy to fall asleep. My exwife didn’t like me using cruise control for this reason. I would imagine that with auto-assist it would be even more likely that your lack of need for input would increase the chance of you falling asleep.
Here is a tip I have for drowsy drivers - get something to eat/suck on. Like gobstoppers or mints or something that will last awhile. Maybe nuts. At least in my experience, if you are chewing or sucking on candy it seems your body has a switch that says, “Don’t fall asleep, we are eating, and don’t want to choke.”
This is just a personal example of something that perks me up when driving, I am sure it is not fool proof. YMMV. Please don’t hurt yourselves.
And heres to the future where cars are smart enough that we can nap.
