Right there, Lutz establishes himself as a kook. There is zero chance of banning human driver cars within 20 years. There is still not a car that could safely drive fully-automated from somewhere in the NYC suburbs to LaGuardia Airport and pick up or drop off a passenger. Not even close. Add in darkness and weather conditions... give me a break. 20 years is a completely absurd figure for not only getting this right but switching all US public roads over and banning the current cars. Also consider the millions of miles of roads that will need to be prepared for this, with proper paint and signage and whatever else. Then there are the dirt roads. When the day does eventually come, automobiles should seem like small ball - by that time we should be going through the air.
The disturbing thing is, no, he's not a kook, he's a car guy from way back and a Trump supporter. I think he's just overestimating the speed of adoption by decades myself, but I don't doubt it's coming.
