Wasn't it one of the CEO's of UBER in recent years that said they would never really be profitable until they had self-driving cars? The end goal has got to be fully autonomous. That could add up to a lot of financial pressure in that direction regardless of overwhelming public indifference or reluctance, as long as these countervailing forces combine to have a neutral effect. I would imagine however big the amount of support there is for UBER (and things like that) to be successful, most strongly from the few biggest stakeholders, would then be pushing for full self-driving to no end, whatever it takes. Anyone else who has to share the road with them, not so much.
