Actually wouldn’t it be better if drivers were discouraged from always looking at their phones?https://twitter.com/paulg/status/1110672251102416896 …

My concern about this, and the general move toward reliance on semi-automation in vehicles, is drivers over time stop thinking for themselves. That’s my general concern, in fact, with Silicon Valley’s obsession with with outsourcing human cognitive capacity to smartphones.
That has been the case with technology since long before phones or SV. As writing spread there must have been people who worried it would weaken our memories. As in fact it did. But it was worth it.

So what you're saying, in effect, is that you have the concern people always have about new technology. Which is not to say that it's an invalid concern.

I’d question whether your historical comparison is justified. When else have we outsourced our capacity to remember, wake-up, navigate, communicate, entertain, socialize and fill our minds during moments of downtime to a single computer?
