I don't think so. Rather, by 2050, driving will have been made illegal except on closed courses. Personally I don't think it will ever have to be illegal. It's more likely that people will stop driving of their own volition and the laws allowing driving will remain in place, just be unused. I'm actually in agreement that autonomous transportation will become "a thing" in roughly five years, somewhere in the world, in some capacity. This will prove the model and eliminate most of the rational arguments for its prohibition, which will lead to it becoming commonplace but probably over the course of several decades.
