Group 1: NOA Usage and Restrictions - Many drivers have reported a decrease in the availability of NOA on highways, with one driver noting that out of a 438-kilometer journey, only 68 kilometers allowed for NOA usage [2][4]. - The limitations on NOA usage are attributed to 5G signal issues rather than direct restrictions from car manufacturers or highway management [5][6]. - There is a growing concern among drivers regarding the safety of using NOA, especially after several accidents involving improper use of the system [6][7]. Group 2: Driver Behavior and Safety Concerns - Reports indicate that many drivers misuse NOA by becoming overly reliant on the system, leading to dangerous situations such as not paying attention while driving [6][7]. - A significant increase in accidents related to smart driving systems has been noted, with a 217% year-on-year rise in incidents involving driver over-reliance on these systems [7]. - Experts emphasize the importance of driver responsibility and the need for a balance between convenience and safety in the use of autonomous driving features [8][9]. Group 3: Industry Perspectives and Future Directions - Industry experts suggest that the current state of NOA and similar systems requires significant improvement, with calls for better integration of safety measures and technology advancements [8][9]. - The development of autonomous driving technology is seen as a complex challenge, requiring a combination of data-driven approaches and regulatory frameworks to ensure safety [8][9]. - There is a consensus that future advancements in smart driving must prioritize safety and the understanding of human behavior in conjunction with technological capabilities [9].
