That's my first reaction too but it could very well be that the dude can't afford to lose his job if he's late. I get it, I have long commutes too.
I think it was more about checking his email while his car was in Autopilot mode as if that were a safe thing to do.
(For anyone unclear on that, it is absolutely not a safe thing to do.)
Ah fair enough. Yes that's crazy, I heard of a dude who would take 20 minute naps on his commute home he didn't even have 'autopilot' it was just fucking lane assist and adaptive cruise control. That's a death waiting to happen.
