Over-Automation is any automation that creates inefficiencies. It typically arises when an automated process fails to account for human factors.As an example, consider a car that automatically switches off heated seats when the temperature in the cabin reaches a reasonable temperature. Such an automation may make sense to engineers within the context of a design meeting. However, on the market it may be perceived as an annoyance or bug by enough customers to result in poor reviews and suboptimal sales.|
