Why not allow traction control? To increase crashes?
Why not allow "lane keep assist"? To increase drivers crashing into walls?
Why not allow "automatic braking"? To increase drivers slamming into walls and other drivers?
Why do we still have the human in the car when a brick on the accelerator could do the same job? So when the cars crash people feel there are real stakes?
(Presumably they've decided they want the sport to be about the drivers to some extent.)
