That is how it will end up being, a transportation vessel with no direct control. It has to be this way. The DOT will not let a mix of autonomous and driver-driven cars on the same road.
I think people drastically underestimate how complex converting to autonomous driving will be in regards to the technology, government oversight, personal property rights, and privacy rights.

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
