My opinion is that self-driving cars will become mandatory, and they will be so expensive that the average person won’t be able to afford them. I see this is one more ruse to take cars away from people.

It is not hard to keep a car going for 20+ years, so the many of cars sold today, and three or four years from now will be on the road in the 2040s with human drivers.

Rather than outlaw the cars outright, they will simply do like they did with horses, mark special newly designed roads as driverless only. Force drivers on side-streets etc. and achieve incremental, but continual change that way without getting sued for loss of use of the car.
