Agree with pretty much everything you said in your post, just want to clarify my point.

I was thinking more along the lines that, sure I can understand the value of fully autonomous driving vehicle. It's not for me, I just love driving, no matter what (maybe I change as I age) but I get why some people are looking forward to it.

What I don't get is "semi" autonomous driving. You're neither "here nor there" you're not driving, but can't really do anything else and have to alert at all times. I get that this is where technology is right now and it might be perfect one day, but the state we are at now to me just doesn't seem beneficial to the owners.
