I have been driving both cars and trucks for a living for almost twenty years, so I know how important it is to be in control of the vehicle, there are many tricky situations that I would never trust the car/truck with. Having said that, I don't mind letting the car drive when my control is not needed, but I do want that to bee my choice.

That's cuz you're thinking in today's technology. 20 years ago, Quake II was state of the art. 20 years from now, I don't want it to be your choice, because you'll be the one causing accidents. You cannot compete with computer vision technology.
Very much this.

Today's algorithms already shit all over humans on much more complex tasks than driving a car by the way. They completely destroy the global top teams in Starcraft 2 and Dota 2 respectively. And those games have a search space that is orders of magnitude more complex, even without considering the fact that cars virtually only have to react to things that are temporally very close to "now". Those games use predictions that span much further into the future.

Of course, I would be all for having "open streets" between key locations, where human drivers can choose to drive if they have a death wish. But safety for everybody involved should take priority, so if there's only one road available it should be driverless. And again, specifically designed race tracks can serve for human driving as a form of entertainment (which I would heavily partake in).
