New way to guide a car: With your eyes, not hands (google.com)

What a horrible idea! This forces drivers not to look far down the road. But it's the long view that provides a smooth, stable, SAFE ride.

As a go-kart racer, by the time I'm half way into a turn, my eyes are done with it. I'm already looking ahead, locating my turn-in for the next corner.

It seems to me that I'd need to view the road one segment at a time, without the ability to scan ahead to plan my path.
