This is an interesting analogy, using Star Wars to help people understand semi-autonomous driving assists. Reminds me somewhat of how Grand Theft Auto V was used by researchers to teach AI how to drive/algorithms how to identify/classify objects (ie "that's a vehicle", "that's a sidewalk", etc.) - a dangerous proposition, yet equally as good (given that the game's AI drivers are really bad, which could actually teach the AI how to be safer drivers & expect unpredictable behaviour).
