The plus side is you get in, program your destination, sit back, read a book, catch up on work or just take a nap. Sounds like a plan to me.

Computers never age or err so what could go wrong?

There is something really disgusting in the possiblitly of kicking back, reading a good book, perhaps stopping to turn around and talk to your kids just a half second before doing a head-on with a semi.

I don't like it. People will still tend to drive beat up cars, past their prime. Vehicle inspections would be regular and lengthy. Not taking your car in for inspection would be a serious crime. There would need to be a major expanding of automobile bureaucracy.
