I think you're misunderstanding, icehawk219 was talking about individuals owning their own self-driving cars. That's a separate question from allowing human drivers on the road.
- TeMPOraL 12y agoYou're right, I misunderstood him. To answer that point then; I don't think people will be prohibited from owning a self-driving car, not initially; I believe they'll relinquish this privilege because of practical reasons - not having to store, maintain and protect a car is better than having to do it. You can see this happening in big cities - people decide not to own a car because it's too big of a mess without real benefits to them; it's more economical to hop into a bus or even get a cab. With fully networking self-driving cars we should expect to see many improvements in efficiency of shared transportation, further reducing the need for individuals to own a car.
