I suppose that is the crux of it. If I am responsible for whatever happens when some software engineer makes a typo or some "edge" case of 16 different things happening occurs (The old OH&S swiss cheese model) then leave the job to me thanks. I will live with some simple things like radar assisted cruise control (Though having one car with it and one which you drive less which is without it leads to moments as you realise it is not going to settle in behind the car at a good distance) Autonomous braking I am less keen on due to my experiences of it getting in a flap over turning cars etc, I hate the feel of lane keep assist tweakign the steering etc...
If you "Need" autonomous braking or lane keeping assistance then you are likely either too tired or just not concentrating on the job and you should just stop, not let the car take over the housekeeping stuff.
