OK, just how is that dumbing people down? There is a difference between something that requires intelligence and just a skill set. Driving is a skill. Think about it, they taught a chimp to fly a rocket with a couple of lemon drops. That means you can put most humans in a car with a pack of lifesavers and they can figure it out on their own. People who barely pass the US Military ASVAB can enlist to be a truck driver but to be Infantry, Armor, Scout or Artillery they have to score higher overall. So you can be pretty dumb and even drive a truck.
AS far as who is liable? A lot depends. If the operator sees a hazard and the vehicle doesn't react and the operator attempts everything possible to stop the vehicle? The manufacturer, if the car has been properly maintained, will be liable. If the operator was not attentive and failed to try to override the vehicle they will be liable along with the manufacturer, again if the vehicle had been properly maintained.
Self driving cars are coming. Not as fast as people think but they are coming. Mostly because people see on the news that 30-40K people a year die in accidents. How they should present that is as ".001% of the US population dies in auto wrecks every year.
For the OP, side airbags and a backup cam. I have no faith in the auto drive features yet. Let em work the bugs out first.

At one time I had seven restored examples which were shown and used in ploughing matches. As most restorers, I have a number of war stories I can relate on a range of topics that may help other like minded and interested people. Perhaps my first p
