We already have self-driving cars. They are called trains.
I would find it revolting for my car to have the potential to disobey my commands and do things regardless of my will. Luckily, I can set up any car however I want. Some people are not lucky enough to have the ability or resources for that. The driving experience would be exactly as if you were riding in a hijacked car while bound and tied in the passenger seat.
I won't purchase a car which does not have 100% operator-operated mechanical connections to brakes, throttle, and steering. ABS and traction control is hardly even acceptable for me. If ABS actually improves your stopping, it is because you are not competent in the art of traction management.
My inputs to the vehicle are not to be questioned by the vehicle or my passengers. In the event that my vehicle or passengers attempt to interfere with my inputs to my vehicle, I correct the root cause for that offense at the next available opportunity. So far, the only driver's-aid that I have left on my cobra is cruise control, because I kinda like that sometimes. My last mustang (GT) didn't even get to keep the ECU.
