I am 100% supportive of AV but I do find that the photos of a controlless dash has a subconscious "wrong" feel to me. It is probably because of sitting behind the wheel of a car all those years.
I guess it is probably how lifelong sailors in the age of sail would feel when they saw the first steamships.
It might actually induce less of a "that's wrong" feeling if they did what some concept cars did and turned those front seats around so that they faced the rear seats and put a table in between the two rows of seats.

I don't think that is the case. At least for trains rear facing seats are safer.
One issue is that not everyone can handle moving backwards however for a car there would be two forward facing and two rear facing seats so you could take your pick.
It sort of makes intuitive sense that rear facing seats would be safer. Suddenly deceleration would press the seated body into the back of the seat instead of flying out of it.
