When Will Self Driving Cars Become Mandatory?

I'm guessing in about 20 years you'll start seeing propaganda to force it.

But that's just the beginning. After that you'll start seeing some kind of kill switch being mandatory. Then you'll start seeing more regulations to dissuade people from even owning cars, autonomous or not. And then of course the final step is to impose "sign ups" for when you want to use some government vehicle (all in the name of global warming, or whatever name they'll switch to by then).

It may not happen because of resistance to it, but it definitely should. Automobiles are a huge source of preventable death and injury. Manual driving would have never been legal if we had started with autonomous automobiles.
