Computer-controlled brakes are a questionable idea vs. proper driver training in the first place.
Throw in a computer with minimally-hardened or in some cases TOTALLY unsecured access to the outside world like we're seeing these days and you end up with people laughing as you stand on the brake pedal while they tell your car not to brake using a radio signal, and it fails to apply the brakes.*

.*get me ranting, and you'll end up with run-on sentences as well
