It is not a good idea to turn cheap affordable transportation into high tech expensive space ships. The average person will soon be priced out of the auto market. Many already are. The statists dream idea is to make cars so expensive that people will submit and live in urban socialist utopias. The only ones that will be able to drive are the rich. Henry Ford would be rolling in his grave.

As it stands right now most auto repairs are so expensive we live in a throw away world now, even for cars. As long as this is optional(which it won't be) it might have some use.

PS: are you really going to let go of the steering wheel of your 50,000 car going 80 mph?

You are correct. Whenever we get a “new” car, it’s at least 10 years old. If self driving cars were required, we would be unable to drive-big problem in our rural area.
