"I wonder if governments might try a similar tactic on route to eventually banning human-driven vehicles." I'm certain it will be even faster and more expedient than tobacco, especially if manufacturers of self-driving cars pick up the insurance bill for the cars they make. Eventually, the insurance rates for non self-driving cars should be unaffordable and if that's not enough, penalties for causing accidents should be ramped up until it's no longer feasible to have a human drive on public roads (they will have to be more than just monetary to prevent rich people from being assholes and driving regardless). At some point most manufacturers will cease making human-driven cars except as expensive toys for the rich. Not only is there a decent case for this, I don't see any other alternatives. If people want to continue to drive manually, there will be race tracks and private courses where they can do whatever they want. Otherwise, making driving on public roads illegal is the only way I can see us getting close to the zero fatalities line that's ideal.
