I will also reiterate that I personally hope we never get to a point where only self driving cars are allowed on the road. I enjoy driving and would always like to have the option.

I think in bigger nations ( US specifically) we cannot in any shape or form get rid of roads and personal operated vehicles as a whole, that said If you live in urban America, i think it is completely reasonable to have sort of a two vehicle garage, one with a gas.hybrid for long road trips (cause face it, that wont go away) and the other being a self driving all electric gizmo

Like I mentioned I think the infrastructure of cities need to be changed so they are more "autonomous" but more nimble than say a train (be it subway, el or metra) course I also want a cyber punk future with people living in buildings and elevated glass walk ways and jet packs...
