ejects gracefully and hands it over to the driver

This is exactly the problem. If I'm driving, I need to be alert to the driving tasks and what's happening on the road.

If I'm not driving because I'm using autopilot, ... I still need to be alert to the driving tasks and what's happening on the road. It's all of the work with none of the fun of driving.

Fuck that. What I want is a robot chauffer, not a robot version of everyone's granddad who really shouldn't be driving anymore.

After many brilliant people trying for decades, it seems you can't get the robot chauffeur without several billion miles of actual driving data, sifted and sorted into what is safe, good driving and what is not.
