Very interesting insight. But I think you're both right and wrong.

It's certainly true that computer assistance and correction leads to bad habits. I drive a motorcycle and will never drive one with ABS, because I know from many people that once you have a bike with ABS, the moment you ride one without, you fall, usually in less than half a mile: you're used to stepping furiously on the brakes, and that is quite unforgiving when there is no ABS ;-)

But it's also probably true that computer assistance saved many more lives than it took.

It just shouldn't turn off on its own; or, people should have extensive training with assistance off ("alternate law").
