I would think that you wouldn't be able to overpower it when it is set to auto.

They are very easy to override. Still have brake pedal, they still stop when the pedal is pressed

Still have to be street legal. They they prevent theft i would assume would be preventing authorized people from being able to turn the car on. Not removing required safety feature such as brakes.

That seems very illegal and reckless, I'm sure some auto regulator will eventually force them to have a manual brake of some sort to stop the vehicle the next time one of these crashes or something. Even a bus or subway gives you a rope to pull for emergency stops. Can't see how they would be required to have them and not these cars.
