But they said it's FSD who's following too closely.

I'd expect automated system should react even better, because it pays attention constantly. That's the whole point, especially when it's called "Full".

Unfortunately for anyone relying on so-called "full self driving", that it may be capable of doing much of the driving you remain the driver.

It's not even a question of "taking back control". You're expected to be in control of the vehicle.

There's a lot of technical measures that prevent people doing harmful actions. Even in spaceships, where pilots are highly trained, focused, selected professionals.

For example, most cars prevent fiddling too much with its entertainment system while driving, even though drivers are expected to not do that while driving.
