They need to find an interface that would enable them to do that with exact precision and at the same time possess the situational awareness.  Vehicles are made to help human get to where they want to go, as human body cannot do so in quick time due to physical limitation. Vehicles can travel much faster than human, but do not have a purpose without human.  Ironically, human want to go fast but they also lack the ability to detect speed, have control of the vehicles and the awareness of the environment. Awareness of the environment for the vehicle can be enhanced with radar, speedometer, attitude detection an so fire.  Currently technology lacks the detection range in the vehicles itself, especially ground vehicles. Control of the vehicles is also a problem as human judgement is never accurate when they are at high speed. The number road accident proved this point
