The choice shouldn't be between human drivers and human supervised computer drivers. Computer supervision of human drivers is viable, effective, and allows for evolutionary progress.

But may be less safe than fully computer controlled cars unless that computer supervision is able to take control completely -- humans tend to view safety features as an excuse to push the envelope.
"I can text because my car will warn me if I run off the road or stop me before I hit the car in front of me"
"I don't need to slow down on this snowy road, ABS will help me stop safely"
"Sure, I'm driving too fast for this road, but my airbags and seatbelts will protect me if I crash"
