I'd take these people who can't drive worth crap over a computer that has shown the ability to be hacked at the drop of a hat sharing my roadspace.

Imagine some guy with the ability to crash an automated car on all the bridges in NYC. Or at all choke points in any major city.

Automation will bring on worse problems than habitual drunks or teens texting.

Now put this into an aviation perspective. How about hacking a widebody and holding it hostage? I know I'll never fly on a fully automated plane.

And before you all start screaming, "airbus is fly by wire" I'll throw this out. I don't fly that.
