I don't think it's lost on people discussing the subject, but it won't be able to stop this technological trend for several reasons. Autonomous cars will be safer than human operated ones so they will at some point be cheaper to insure. This will continue until it is either unaffordable for the average person to operate their own car or outright prohibited because of safety concerns. Driving will become a hobby which people will be able to pursue on dedicated (race)tracks.
