I'm not giving up my control of a vehicle to a computer. Lets get back to driving skills which all the "safety devices" usurp and negate.

Just about everything in life in now computer controlled - air traffic, airline GPS and auto pilot systems, the power grip, missile launching, food supplies, hospital information - the list is endless.
But it will take a little time to be as close to perfect as we'd like, and once there's a method for managing the infamous Trolley Problem.
Having just "enjoyed" a four hour drive home from Houston, surrounded by many idiots, I say bring on automation.
Or if not, let's "drive" some civility by removing drivers air bags and substituting a carefully sharpened but rusty 10" stake - might discourage the need for heavy braking.

As many have joined the "Mile High Club", this will enable the "Hundred MPH" club.
It's only a matter of time before it is cracked???
