Unclear why this is being downvoted. Modern cars have all sorts of computer driving systems, e.g. ABS. If you learned to drive without it, you still think to pump even though the computer does a better job if you just slam on the brakes.

The point is that so far most (all?) of these computer systems don't have a failure mode where it kills pedestrians, because their scope is very limited.

Because one doesn't "fight" with ABS not wanting to break. It will break when you hit the brake.

Same with power steering: it won't steer into a different directorion. You don't have to "fight" with it.
