>Touch is probably only needed to feel when you bump into something you didn't see

I think you're underestimating the importance of touch, especially when it comes to steering and pedal control.



That's a limitation of us. We need touch and indicators to gauge how effective we are, but a machine can precisely throttle 23% or keep the steering wheel at 19 degrees without need to gauge how hard it is pushing the actuators. Touch is nice, but hardly crucial for driving.
