Right. Lately, they don't look at all. Every day, someone makes the morning traffic report because they couldn't see a Kenworth or Peterbuilt pulling a 50 ft trailer. When they are reading the daily news, shaving, putting on their face, playing with their phone, eating breakfast, watching a movie, etc etc they just don't have any eyes left to look for traffic. There would be a quantum leap in traffic safety if they would restrict autoshifters and power assisted controls to the handycapped and put everyone else in vehicles that must be operated by the driver, so they will have to pay at least a little attention to their driving.
