The computerised vehicles will be fitted with high-tech sensors and will 'refuse to be steered' into other objects.

I share a similar sentiment with you but you have to understand that automobile companies evolve overtime. I used to say the same thing about Volkswagen too but they've released some pretty good cars.

What happens in a situation where a tricycle suddenly stop in your front & the trailer\tanker behind you is bearing down on you at about 80km per hour. On a narrow bridge? Just thinking

Always thinking like an Economist. They would have taking into consideration, the measures for faulty sensor; auto-replace sensors. Note that the car will not just have one sensor! On my opinion, it might have not less than 10 sensors.

Finally, always think like a scientist.
