Do you feel the same way about auto break technology?

  What a bogus argument. Auto braking doesn't replace the human.

    When it engages it does necessarily replace or override the human as if the human broke it wouldn't engage. Of course it's not intended to be relied on exclusively but self driving cars as of today similarly require you to pay attention and override when necessary

  Yes, auto-brake technology is catastrophically bad in its current half-implemented state. I assure you that false collision alarms are causing accidents that aren't being accounted for, some of them serious. Just as with first-generation airbags that did more harm than good to children and properly-belted passengers, it'll take a while for the actuaries and statisticians to catch up with how modern cars are actually behaving on the road. At that point a cynic might predict (or even hope for) the trial lawyers to take it from there. Last to catch on will be the legislators who have mandated auto-braking tech without imposing strict performance and reliabilty standards.
