With the advances in computer vision these days there's a pretty good chance that your car will be able to see that deer or the idiot 2 cars up much quicker than you can.

I hear what you're saying about people who like to drive and I think there will always be people who feel that way. If I drop $400,000 on a new Porsche there's no way I'm letting a computer do all the driving.

However, the sad reality these days is that in most major metropolitan freeways you'd most likely be crawling along at 20 mph in the fast lane no matter how much you like driving. That's why I think having hybrid robot cars that can commute automatically and then drive manually on the side streets is a good solution.
