I'm cool with you disagreeing with me, too.
I am a car enthusiast, and made my living off of cars for the last 20 years. So I am
obviously biased. I have driven cars on race tracks at very high speeds -- 167 MPH is my current fastest speed, in a car capable of about 220 MPH.
That changes a person in a way you can't unchange. There is no way I would ride in a car going that fast being driven by a computer, even using the best of the best Artificial Intelligence software. Why? Because computers can not experience fear. I've met a lot of racers, and they all tell me this. When you drive that fast for more than five minutes, and then slow down, your eyes are dry. Why, because you haven't blinked even once in that five minutes.
I can't explain this concept in a way that people understand. Please watch this video of 24 Hours of Lemans champion Alan McNish -- he puts it all into perspective. You will probably need to watch it multiple times -- I've watched it at least 20 times, and I still learn something new every time I watch it. Pay particular attention to the speeds he is talking about. I will bet you 1,000 bucks that there is not computer driven car that can do what he's doing in this video.
How does this apply to ordinary people driving to work every day? If I am diving my car down a road, and kid on a bicycle darts out between two park cars, I will drive my car into another car, I'll drive it into a brick wall, or a tree. I will total my car and injure myself if that will prevent me from running over that kid on the bike. Computers are not capable of making that kind of decision.
