Its all a slippery slope. When synchromesh transmissions were invented, the purists said it was an unfair advantage in a race. Today, F! cars have all kinds of automation, but it still comes down to a guy going through the gears, turning the wheel and hitting the brakes. Someone still wins and loses in the most technologically advanced racing in the world. So the human element is still there.

What I don't like is technology that takes away the fundamentals from the driver, like the I No Drive Porsche development, that takes away braking and acceleration from the driver and only allows him to steer.

Its just one more step to cars that drive themselves completely, so that we can just sit back and go online and drink Lattes and have no imput in driving.
