The "road" are the instruments. Having the instruments be directly intractable with makes sense on a rocket.

I agree with you in respect of cars.

Everything is automated though. There's almost nothing for astronauts to do except pull an abort handle. Instruments and telemetry are shared with ground control, and anyways, they don't need the astronauts to touch anything unless there is so much instrumentation to present that the astronauts have to page through it.
