I’m trying to think of a comparison and I can’t come up with one. Something where we’ve relinquished control to something else that we’ve designed. Maybe trusting robots to build the cars themselves or something akin to that.

Either way, it’s definitely new territory for us. I am sure there will be debates on this forever but I foresee reasonable arguments by both sides.

Elevators. Automatic doors. Fly-by-wire. Airplane autopilot.

Heck, modern cars are full of things that control aspects of driving for you: Cruise control. Automatic emergency braking. Brake assist. Antilock brakes. Traction control. Many of these features are so beneficial to safety that they are mandatory for new cars.
