I get that feeling when I try to imagine if I would prefer an AI to drive my car. Rationally, I know it would probably be safer, but at the same time I would still feel safer driving it myself.

I imagine it is a mix of an illusion of control and "it won't happen to me because I drive better than the average driver".

Agreed, and also the particular mistakes AI will make seem so obvious and dumb to us. There is no way I would crash into emergency vehicles with flashing lights, ever. So intuitively AI is scary. But never mind that it also will avoid rear-ending people due to lack of attention, which is a very human mistake and much more frequent.
