But, face it, autos have improved and I say good riddance to some of the old ways.

I agree with you. I have a 2015 Toyota Sienna that is the best car (of many) that I've ever owned. I'm sure the later models are even better than the 2015. (By the way, I'm a geezer at 75.)

I think self driving technology will be a good thing for the elderly, who through no fault other than nature can no longer safely drive, but still want that personal autonomy to travel at their will. Technology will achieve that, not regressing.
