To me, an “autonomous” vehicle is one I can have sole control of, not a computer.

To each his own. But the vehicle isn't "autonomous" if you control it.

Yes it is when you have sole control; it is subject to your autonomy, not the computer’s. We aren’t talking “Herbie” here. Cars are meant to be an extension of the human, not an extension of some computer under the control of robot software designed (and controlled) by a human other than the driver.
