That's a completely arbitrary distinction, you are essentially saying that stuff that was in cars when you learned to drive is all natural and perfectly fine, but stuff that got introduced afterwards is suspicious and bad and you don't like it.
How is routing not human-enhancing? It makes it easier for you to choose which route to take? How is an automatic gearbox not human-replacing, it eliminates the need for a human to shift with the shift stick?

Maybe a better phrasing would be "features that let you focus on the road more" (e.g automatic shifting, ABS) vs. "features that let you not need to focus on the road" (e.g. lane assist, automatic braking, radar cruise control)
The best human drivers can get by without the first set of features.
