Maybe driving becomes tiered where a person's ability to access overrides are based on tests and their driving record. Not saying it is a good idea, but with computer controlled driving systems, it becomes plausible. For example, if you had a DUI in the last year, no overrides for you.

This is unlikely to happen for the same reason that we don't apply a tiered system to larger SUVs and pickups, which are clearly more dangerous than smaller, practical cars. People will subconsciously fight any self reflection and resist even trivial self-sacrifice for the greater good of society.
