When it comes down to it, the relative ability to drive a car has little to do with intelligence. We all know people who we wonder how they make it through the day, but seem to be able to navigate their cars across the city without problems.
As you point out with you Airbus example, the technology isn't perfect. But, are talking about a technology in it's infancy. It still needs humans as babysitters. I don't expect to be getting into a non-human driven car any time soon, and I don't expect to be relying on them in my lifetime. But, my great-grandchildren? It won't surprise me if their idea of "driving" was completely different than ours.
And personally, "the human male wanting to sit behind the seat of his shiny new sports car and go varooooooom!" is the reason we need to hurry this technology long.
@Cinisajoy: Yes, some human females like speed as well, but most I know just roll their eyes when the nearby Neanderthal-like males start talking cars.

Most I know roll their eyes too, but I had to say something for the exceptions. Some of us know how to use tools too. Heck, hubby bought me my own electric screw gun.
