Go Ahead, You Drive... I'll Watch

I have to admit, I am a little worried about totally giving over control of driving my car to a remote computer network. On the other hand, I can see some real benefit to letting the car drive while I do something else (like take a nap). I am just wondering if this might be a counter productive invention in an era where we really need to be thinking about driving less. Making it so that you can be productive while burning gas going from point A to point B will probably add to the actual miles traveled each year.

Let's hurry up with that self contained fuel cell technology that uses the Nitrogen in the air and releases pure water as a result... then we can drive all we want.
