text: Another point that is made in the article is that there is already this type of technology but it can only "... handle functions at speeds up to 25 mph, but special touch sensors make sure the driver keeps hold of the wheel." What is the point of having the car drive itself if you have to be at full attention, with your hands on the wheel? Once again we don't have the technology to make this practical. If anything this makes it harder on experienced drivers, they're so used to driving the same way for their entire life, and they will have to learn a different type, even though it's not necessary.
