When I'm driving I get to decide how loud the radio is or whether all the windows are down, not my passengers. If the car is doing the driving I have no problem with the car stipulating its own requirements to ensure a safe trip.

The whole point is that the car is NOT doing the driving the same way cruise control is not doing the driving either. It is not fully, self driving car, yet. It can automate some portion of the driving task, just as cruise control can, but the limits of operation, as stated by the producer, do not allow it to control the car unattended.
No. The car isn't a person. It has no awareness of external context. You can't change its mind using evidence or reasoning. The person in the vehicle should always be able to override the car.
