And he sucks at driving.

Why are some people such babies about people who like to drive?

I don't think that anyone is being a baby about driverless cars. To each their own. I prefer a car with a fast engine and lots of gears to go thru. Make it a 2 door and paint it Red while you are at it. What would be cool is if these driverless cars would work at avoiding other drivers. Maybe they will catch on and these things can then stay out of my way as I blow on past them.

But here you are telling us we should want to do things the same way YOU do. See the irony here?

Ah, the old liberal "doing things how I say is smart, by definition" canard. I remember this from such hits as "vegetarians are smarter than meat-eaters" and "people who drive hybrids are smarter than people who drive SUVs."

I'm not sure exactly what "being babies about driverless cars" means, but most people are familiar with their computers, smart phones, and other electronic devices doing weird, unexpected things, and maybe they'd like to avoid getting the same treatment from their cars.
