I find that the people who champion cars that drive themselves also tend to be the techno-geeks who are often on their laptops or cell phones or even iPods whilst driving in the first place. Having been a passenger in a car driven by one, I can assure you it is in everyone's interest to get these poor souls out of the driving loop by automating their rides. In the meantime, the rest of us who enjoy having skills beyond buttons and a screen can go back to driving ourselves without worrying about the car 'blue screening'.
