Even when self driving gets to a certain level, it won't be able to compete with the safety of a street that ONLY allows self driving cars.
As soon as a tipping point is hit, major areas will open roads to self driving cars only.
Add to that that the latest generation of cars are electric (quiet, cleaner, more efficient, longer lasting), and as more people move to that there will be fewer gas stations, more ICE hate, etc.
The result will be a very sudden shift to electric self-driving cars. Which will create a loop, and perhaps a shift much more faster than one might think. My guess is two years from when Waymo is convinced their vehicles can go anywhere to where such cars are mainstream, and another two years till ICE are outlawed on all major roads.
Maybe living in lala land with that, but even if it takes 8 years - that will still throw a lot of people out of a job.
