I find this all very jarring.

  I hear ya. I'm not worried. People tend to underestimate how intelligent humans are and drastically overestimate how "smart" pre-programmed cars are going to be. The reality is, like "free money" it's also a control system, and most of us already know it. Consider the near total rejection of camera tickets when it's put to a vote. There's billions of $ in hype. I'll happily bet against it. Something that concerns me slightly more is when we start growing 'subservient' neurons to drive us around. They will be smart enough to make it work, but the closed and connected 'trusted' silicon surrounding them would be a problem. A short term problem is new drivers might become dependent and not learn the necessary skills... like pilots forgetting how to land.... but I doubt it. Gen Z is turning out just fine. Note I live in one of the most freedom appreciating places on Earth, if you are in one of the nanny states that has already hooked the population on public transportation then all bets are off and ya, you should worry.
