I would love to have a car that drives itself while I do other things in the back.
I would hate to have a car that tries to tell me how I should drive. This thing started with the bells that ring when your seat belt is not fastened, and it's only getting worse and worse.
I love the idea of having a car that drives and leaves me to do other stuff - but I can't use a laptop (or even read) in the back of car, I get rather queasy.
I also much prefer doing the driving to being a passenger - so I think the reality for me would that a self driving car would be rather less attractive than you might think, at least for longer journeys.
I've always found the reading-in-the-car/motionsickness thing to be very interesting...
I was affected by it for a long time, then suddenly I decided to simply try to 'will' myself out of it, psyching myself into believing that it was all in my head anyway.
The surprising thing is I believe it's worked for me. Telling myself I won't get sick allows me to get caught up on books during long car rides. If I think I will, I'll be horribly nauseous.

Unabridged audiobooks from Audible solved this problem for me.
Yeah, but beeping when a car is about to T-bone you is pretty bad-ass. More features like this that make the car feel like a fighter jet, please.
