Agreed. There should always be a capacity for human decision making when it comes to the operation of a personal motor vehicle.
A good example is in conflict resolution in a critical incident situation, for example a no win situation where the three choices are:
1- head on collision with a Mack truck
2- swerving to the left and hitting a small Toyota SUV containing a young family
3 - swerving to the right to and risking hitting a 90 year old lady on the sidewalk.
Which is the proper decision? Doesn't this constitute a personal moral choice? Do you want an AI performing the calculus and deciding on it's own what your choice should be? Maybe there's a fourth choice that the manufacturer had not considered during their programming?
This is a slippery slope. I would certainly contest any choice made on my behalf by an AI when the lawsuits begin to fly. I would only accept liability if the choice made was mine and mine alone.........
