What will happen to govco coffers if auto drive cars become the norm. There will be a short fall of $$ that will have to picked up some other way. More tax.
How will this affect 3rd party insurance providers? If a accident happens who will wear the blame? Who will sue who? If these vehicles are made mandatory would the Government accept being sued because it was their laws that forced people into a specific type of vehicle?
To combat congestion will the government make it impossible to use your auto drive vehicle at certain times by disabling it? What will happen to motor cycles?
What kind of person really wants the vehicle that they are in making all the decisions? Yeah, I know, they're out there.
I really cant see auto drive vehicle making much head way any time soon. I might be wrong but I dont think so.

Auto drive isn't fool proof yet, and I somewhat doubt it ever will be completely bullet proof. People react quicker then a.computer when it's something out of the computers parameters. It's the oh **** factor. Hence why tesla recomend you have your hands near the wheel when on auto drive. Don't even ask for my opinion on lane filtering for bikes.
