I think flying is still safer than driving, even with auto-pilot.

On a highway in good weather (day or night) it is pretty much a done deal, there is really no need to do anything, even if there is traffic. Not sure about the regulations though, likely will take some time.

If the weather is bad, it gets tricky. Once I was not able to turn the autopilot on -- did not know what the problem was until I stopped and realized that the front of the car got covered in heavy wet snow as I was driving, blocking sensors and cameras (and also headlights). I am not sure something like that can be dealt with using current hardware.
