Not only do I agree that it would probably be less enjoyable, but I also expect it would be less safe. A driver actively piloting a car will be focused and experienced at that task. That same driver will not have had any tuition or assessment on their ability to judge whether a car with advanced assistive piloting* is acting sensibly. In the case of some event requiring manual intervention, I'd be surprised if the driver's focus would be significantly worse than a similar event while actively driving. Not only that but the judgement, knowledge, and experience of being able to identify such events in a timely manner. I'm genuinely shocked that this feature is allowed on public roads. It's one thing a car owner consenting to being a trial participant, but pedestrians and other road users have no such opportunity to provide or deny consent and are at equal or greater risk if things go awry. *I refuse to use Tesla's irresponsible 'self-driving' marketing nonsense
