I appreciate your sense of humor but horses were far from self-driving :)
In fact the etymology of the words "driver" and "driving" may surprise you.
> The origin of the term driver, as recorded from the 15th century, refers to the occupation of driving working animals, especially pack horses or draft horses. The verb ' to drive ' in origin means "to force to move, to impel by physical force".
It's literally the job you're implying doesn't exist, heh.
Further, the next iteration of transportation after the horse was actually the electric car in the early 1830s, long before the gas car (1886). The arc of history is surprisingly bendy.
