Cars can never be too safe. What I want is a car with no computers or telemetry whatsoever. I want a car that is private with how I use it. Like what they were pre 2000s. Just a hunk of metal to go from point A to point B.

Those cars were absolutely more dangerous than the ones on the road now.

True self-driving cars would be the epitome of safety, because humans are the most common reason for failure in most systems.
