Are you glad you have a gas gauge? How about power steering? Or codes to find out what's wrong with your car when the engine light comes on? Do you drive an automatic?

How about PVR's for TV shows? Facebook for connecting with old friends? Word processing? Photo and video editing? Do you have a digital camera?

You can't point at someone who likes ABS and say "why do you want computers to do EVERYTHING for you!????" It's a total strawman argument. Computers can be very, VERY useful, especially with ABS, which is designed to keep you focused on steering away from something in an emergency.
