Um, you may want to start doing a bit of catch-up reading before making any
further categorical statements like the above since you appear to be making
claims outside your realm of knowledge or expertise. It appears you are
probably unaware of current development in this area. Autonomous vehicles
are probably in the near future; this is what DARPA's Grand Challenge was
intended to accomplish:

Here's a concept that should be pursued:

Actual Hands-off Steering:
And Other Wonders of the Modern World


And unless you replace the entire fleet of autos on the road all it
takes is one asshole in his old Chevy to screw the system.

Which is just one of the reasons the whole thing was abandoned as
impractical.

It is notable that aviation is not as prone to the all-or-nothing
dilema. Advanced PAV's would have to share the sky with convention
aircraft, but the danger of cohabitation is not as siginificant as
hands-of-steering.

I don't know what you mean by "hands-of-steering." But, Think about what
surrounds the nation's largest cities. Let me help. The nation's busiest
airspace. Now guess what is on the ground in and around the nation's
largest cities? The nation's busiest roads.

Now think if all the things on the road started flying in the sky.
