It may (?) also help some 90-year old people still get around on their own who are not (yet) in assisted-living places, don't really need to be yet, but have lost enough driving skills over the years that they probably shouldn't be driving themselves any more. I wouldn't say they are "stupid drivers" in the sense you are probably using the term, just too old and weak to have the vision, hearing, skills, reaction-time, etc.....that one needs to be safe behind the wheel.
It will be forced upon us all when the time comes.

These all have some or full fly by wire, and/or electronic/software engine controls, and autopilot software. Commercial aviation has gotten safer, not more dangerous, with these technologies.

Not necessarily. Right now, as we speak, there is still an ongoing investigation into this latest crash in Southeast Asia as to whether the plane stalled in or near a thunderstorm, and if, during the stall, the computer did not disengage and/or allow the pilots to apply proper stall-recovery techniques (I am an ex-pilot myself). I won't comment any further, because the investigation is still ongoing.
