Why do you assume that computer control means a reduction of your
freedom? Do you feel that way when using a word processor? Well, I guess
if you use MS Word you might feel that way, but assuming that you have
alternatives to MS why can't you imagine that computers will not expand
your freedom? Think of all the sights you could enjoy if you were not
forced to concentrate on just looking at the road.
What if the computer suddenly ceases to function either in the car or within
the system? And don't tell me that cannot happen.

I've worked with robots. I've worked with computers for years. I have
never trusted either not to crash/fail/break when I need them the most.
I don't want to deal with an erratic computer that has acceleration
errors on a highway.
I don't want to rely on a small transport vehicle with computer control
that's going to break at 60mph. It was bad enough when the gear shift on
my bicycle broke at 40mph. Maybe in my next life it might be ready, but
probably not for another 30 years, especially considering the lack of
funding for this kind of research.
