You mean like automatic transmissions have made manual transmissions illegal? And how you're not allowed to drive any car without power steering or power brakes anymore?

Oh wait!

I don't even have power steering. I'm not ready.

the insurance will price you out of driving standard cars

>>14101519
But why would insurance become more expensive if self driving cars decrease the number of accidents?

nope, insurance costs are going to take a huge nosedive as accident rates go down too. ALso, with electric cars and hydrogen fuel cells becoming competition for ICE cars, the demand for gas goes down. Lower demand, still a huge supply, lower price.

The future is fucking shining for car guys. Nevermind the fact that 3D printers are getting more and more advanced making it easier to get parts for older cars.

It's a given that once driverless cars become common that people won't be allowed to drive their tofu shitbox on public roads. The real question is will motorcycles also be banned? I've always wanted to go adventure riding around America, now i may never be able to.

>>14101526

People will demand lower rates or get liability insurance since they trust their driverless cars so much. The insurance companies will have to make up for these losses somehow, even Warren Buffet thinks they'll go bankrupt. They'll probably try to raise rates for people still driving normal cars in order to make up for the discrepancy.

And he should know, he comes from aviation and cites all the crashed passenger jets...which also self drive/fly and those systems have caused half a dozen highly publicized air disasters in the last decade.

Right, and they also can't force off cars that are already legal off the road either. It will probably eventually happen, but if you're currently old enough to drive, it won't be in your life time.

What losses? The reduction in payouts and getting a nice guaranteed income because of mandatory insurance?

>>14102860
Except if we do reach perfection in self-driving cars, people should argue they shouldn't have to pay for insurance, or some incredibly small premium. They would have to cover their losses on those still driving manual cars, hiking up the rates since driving yourself is now seen as dangerous and unnecessary.

Why would they ban them? Maybe for pollution reasons, but not for safety. They dont care if you make the choice to be unsafe, as long as it doesnt kill others.

All the major automakers are currently pouring money into autonomous vehicle research as we speak.

What legislation has been passed concerning motorcycles and older cars is irrelevant to the future of the autonomous car.

It's too early to say what will happen to the conventional car or motorcycle. But to say they're "here to say" is some retarded thinking. Its the same type of thinking they said about the horse

>drivetrain fails at 30,000 miles
