We have auto steering cranes you can cut off or on guided by GPS. When they work they work great when they don't it can go bad . Only if the human isn't paying attention.
Auto driving cars with humans in control
Just incase I believe are a realistic option .
Well depending on the human .
I couldn't put faith in a total self driving car .it was made by us and we make mistakes and systems fail and parts break.
Assisted automation is fine I believe.
Ours is just a switch.

Ignore the duct tape that keeps someone from touching a switch .
It takes time to correctly map a road but once you do the GPS coordinates its fairly simple.
Between that and the automated distance sonar /radar in New cars .
We could be nearly wreck free in transportation in the future.
