Alas it seams that removing human input or thought is where car design is heading. From windscreen wipers that turn themselves on, automatic headlights, self dimming rear view mirrors, lane control, self parking etc it's only heading one way. Google have been beta testing a self driving car for the past year. No doubt in the future we will salute the reduction in driver attributed accidents. And laudable that will be but I can't help but think we are loosing something here. The most enjoyable car I have driven had no power steering, no assisted braking and suspension which lent itself more to the horse and cart era.
