If the software driving a car was airgapped, and if all cars on the road were likewise self-driving and airgapped, then sure, I'm all for it.
However, having the car connect to a network means you're guaranteed to get hackers. A few might be genuinely dangerous hacks, but I can more easily imagine hacks that take over your sound system (getting rick-rolled whilst you drive....uggh) or hacks that mean your car takes you to the nearest adult bookstore, instead of your desired destination.
I also don't have any intention of giving up driving. I enjoy driving, despite all the morons on the road who seem oblivious to lanes, speed limits and other traffic.
