Not really. I am a dyed in the wool car nut. With over 50 cars registered to me in my life, and currently in possession of a modified Corvette Z06, a hot rod 1970 Opel GT and 4 other rides, I would love one of these.
As a sales rep on the road it would be awesome to program my car to go somewhere then sit back and have an office day along the way. It wont be the end of automotive fun, as a guy who averages 250 miles a day for work it would give me hours to be more productive, or have leisureish time.

Let me know if you ever decide to part with that one. Bought a '73 off the floor and have been looking for a salvageable restore. Most of the ones I have found are either too far gone, way over priced, or both.

The change would be gradual enough if it extended into the 23rd century.

And you’d be perfectly okay with having no way to take control of the vehicle if it’s guidance and control systems malfunctioned? No steering wheel and no brake pedal means you are completely at the mercy of those systems.

No offense, but I find it hard to believe that someone who owns and drives a Z06 (or any other high performance vehicle) would be amenable to divesting himself of all control over his vehicle.
