"10:01 A.M." by Alexander B. Malec; its publication history is at
<http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?45493>.
 Looking at that
list I guess I must have read the story in the ANALOG 6 anthology of
stories from 1966.

(Note: there were two people in the car.  The one who'd figured out
how to disable their car's complex automatic safety systems was
deemed valuable enough, due to his cleverness and intelligence, to
keep alive and send off to a lunar research facility; the other, the
driver, was executed.)
