I am certainly not anti-tech or against progress. I work, live with use IT and electronics everyday but, personally I just wouldn't want full autonomy in any vehicle I owned. That's not to say it won't have it's uses of course such as public transport, freight delivery etc. I delight in the lack of electronics in a 80 series but I also welcome it on my road bike with advanced electronic traction control, power selection options and ABS etc which make the thing safer and, to some degree, easier to ride. The march of technology is relentless and in the electronics/IT industry it advances far quicker than in most other areas. The capability for full autonomy is here now and it can't be uninvented so it's coming wether anybody likes it or not. The challenge of applying it to our increasingly overcrowded roads is still a big one though. JMO
