I quite agree. I don't know why people want this sort of thing in their cars. Indeed this article in general just made me not want to ever get a car built in the last 10 years. Of all activities, something as dangerous as driving is something I would be least comfortable reducing my control over. Is the only option for those of us who value control in driving now kit cars and antiques?

Dont worry so much, all these driving helpers are a transient state anyway. Soon you'll just enter your car and relax while it will do all the driving, and even if you would be tempted to drive yourself it would be a bad idea because most lanes on the highway will be closed to human drivers due to security reasons.
