Let me tell you a story about diagnosis by computer.
My younger son (30 yrs old) was not feeling well about 3 weeks back. His
neck was sore and he had a rash from his hair down his forehead and his
one eye was bothering him. We saw him on Sunday afternoon and told him
that he needed to go and get it checked out and he agreed. He stopped
into the clinic he normally goes to near his home and asked to see the
doctor that he has seen before. That doctor was out but there was
someone else that he could see. He met with a lady doctor and told her
his symptoms. He said she typed his symptoms into the computer and then
told him he had pulled a muscle in his neck and to take some Tylenol and
take it easy for a few days to permit it to heal.
He did not feel any better that evening and when he told us what the
doctor said, we told him he needed to see someone else and get another
opinion. He went to the clinic I normally go to and managed to see my
doctor who was doing walk in visits that day. My doctor took one look at
him and told him he had shingles. He gave him a prescription for
antibiotics intended to prevent it from getting any worse and sent him
to an eye clinic here in the city as he was concerned about it being in
his eye. He then went to the eye clinic where the doctor looked at it
and then sent him to one of the main hospitals here to see a specialist
as he was concerned that his cornea was lifting. He then went to the
hospital and the doctor checked him out and told him it looked to be
alright but gave him his card with his cell phone number and told him to
call if he thought his condition was getting any worse.
So, he managed to see 3 good doctors within about 5 hours including 2
specialists but the first woman he saw did not do him any favours by
asking her computer to diagnose his problem.
He has pretty well recovered from the shingles but was off work for a
week and still has some residual affect from it.

Your response to the need for coal also applies to the comment shown
below and I didn't see any way to generate the huge additional
electricity needed to recharge batteries. I am totally baffled how
the writer claims huge additional electric demands, yet makes no
allowance to generate that power. Or maybe I missed it?
You provided an awesome rebuttal! I love the point by point format.
One more point needs to be addressed IMHO, he wrote:

I'm pretty sure Doctors do the diagnosing. Nurses provide treatment
as directed by doctors and doctors order tests then interpret them.
Also, I predict self driving cars will fail in most of the country,
only succeeding in high density urban areas IMNSHO.
YMMV,
