Human drivers are far more dangerous on the road, and you should be applauding assisted driving development.
This presumes the options are only:
Key word is 'assisted' driving. ADAS should roughly be a nice add, so long as human attention is policed. Ultimately, the ADAS systems are better able to react to some situations, but may utterly make some stupid calls in exceptional scenarios.
Here, the bar of 'no human paying attention at all' is one I'm not entirely excited about celebrating. Of course the conditions are "daytime traffic jam only", where risk is pretty small, you might have a fender bender, pedestrians are almost certainly not a possibility, and the conditions are supremely monotonous, which is a great area for ADAS but not a great area for bored humans.
