I guess I grew up with a lot of automated things, but I feel like driving is something that people should be able to do for safety reasons.

Have you not met "people"? People drive like absolute idiots. I had to emergency brake just yesterday because the woman driving the car to my right was drifting into my lane at highway speeds while she negotiated a large 24oz can of some beverage in her left driving hand while simultaneously holding a cigarette. Her right hand and both eyes were busy doing something on her cell phone.

There is very little safe about people driving.

Yeah, recently I've started paying attention to what other drivers are doing while stopped at intersections. The amount of people using their cell phones behind the wheel astonishes me.
