You've raised an important point here: the 'human vs self-driving car' is something of a false dichotomy.

The human driving experience will become more and more augmented by technology, with auto-braking, lane-assist, smart cruise control and (eventually) auto-navigation until we have almost-self-driving cars which are still legally required to have a qualified human in the driver's seat. Many of the these features already exist in high-end cars.

People will be much happier to hit the 'auto' button and climb into the back seat when they've already had several years of 'almost-auto' driving.
