all a computer can do is react once it gets into a sticky situation. you cant program instincts or intuition
A computer can see a deer better than a human, the logic for avoiding a drunk driver can easily be programmed, it will pay attention to a child on the side of the road when you never saw him.

I don't think the superiority of computers is being questioned here, just the fact that the world will be a different place
