I think once they figure out self-driving, car ownership will plummet and most family cars will be replaced with self-driving taxis and shuttles, which will be electric.

Society subsidizes car ownership to an extreme degree, from the environmental impact, parking space to road infrastructure etc.

A lot of people live in cities, and in a lot of cities, there is just not enough space for cars.



There is no way humans give up control over their own vehicle. This isn't a practical issue it's a psychological one.
