- Most drivers are awful, at least here in the US. Even a Tesla is probably better than a below average driver. A Waymo is way better, and I can live with more

- Most drivers are awful, at least here in the US. Even a Tesla is probably better than a below average driver. A Waymo is way better, and I can live with more of those on the road.
- Cars will be legally drivable for the forseeable future. In the far future, I'm sure car enthusiasts will drive them for fun, so no skin off our backs.

- Now that ^ is what I have issue with. Modern cars are too heavy, too loaded with tech and luxury junk that detracts from the driving experience. I don't want to manually drive a 6000lb electric brick with powered folding cupholders.

Actually the most fun happens when you are awful at something, it means that the learning curve is still in the steep phase.

Yeah, but that fun period is also when you are most likely to kill or maim someone, especially when the car is 6000lb. This is going off on a tangent, but that issue would be much less severe if the U.S. took drivers licenses as seriously as, say, Germany.
