I have driven many uncounted miles in my lifetime. Since getting my license back in the early 70s, I have once wanted a computer to tell me how to drive. I do have computer controlled fuel injection, as that makes the engine run better than carburetors by a wide margin. And the cruise control module is computer controlled to avoid a lot of wires and relays and save weight and make a smooth running system.

The rest of the task is the contol of the car, and I prefer to take care of that myself. ABS would be nice, but pretty much not a retrofit thing. I love the computing power of my cell phone, but I sure don't want it in control of my car. And the day iTunes takes over control of a car, I will find car from the 1970s or before that is 100% manual.
