I happen to agree these cars are smart and will recover from losing control of the car. Recently I was driving on the highway going about 60 mph. The roads didn't look so bad, was wondering why everyone was going about 30-40 mph. As I approached a turn I noticed I started sliding and thought Ill just even my way back into the road....

I end up swerving left and right 4 times and come face to face with the guard rail. Now this is what makes me think, what I did was cut the wheel real hard and gave it some gas as it came to a complete stop after spinning out.

I was sure that Id be in the river by then.
