Japanese train drivers are famous for pointing at things to always keep attention. May be similar system can be used for cars: for example car could narrate objects it sees and ask driver to point at them with hand, then check with depth sensor and gesture recognition that user pointed correctly, and then slow down and stop if user pointed wrong.

But that has the problem of "computer recognizes 'car', asks fleshy meat-bag to point at 'car', sees meat-bag point at 'car'".

It doesn't learn anything about the environment from that, so to me it doesn't change anything.

So wait, rather than just pay attention to the road when driving my old beater, I could constantly be pointing at things and struggling with poor voice recognition? Somehow this sounds like more work than just driving the car myself.
