I am finding it hard to give control to the car.

Getting close to driverless cars.

Ha! I get you. We got a brand new motability motor 2 yrs ago now and the auto handbrake thing did my head in at first. Bad enough not having some wire ratchet to pull with both hands, now replaced by a little button lever, but then for the car to apply the handbrake for you freaked me out. Auto headlights, auto this that and the other, but luckily still has manual gears, which i could never imagine driving without. How souless and joyless to drive a car where the car even decides what gear you should be in?
