What will realistically happen when (((self-driving electric

i'm looking forward to the time when people who hate driving won't be doing it anymore

i'm also hoarding vehicles for the inevitable apocalypse

My guess is that the commuter econobox market will go away completely. There will be maybe 2 or 3 fleet operators in your area operating and maintaining a fleet of roboeconoboxes. You'll spastically push buttons on your smartphone and ride the nu-bus.

The trucks will more or less be untouched. But they'll be more focused on what tradesmen need them to do.

High end cars will split into two categories, plush luxobarges which won't have steering wheels and cars that are singularly focused on being street legal racers.

This sounds realistic and probable.

I expect to finish my education in 7 years. Up until then I will be a cyclecuck.

Will I ever have my own car I am able to drive on public roads?

If so, how long?

>>17467159
I don't expect they'll get rid of it, it'll just become more uneconomical to do it. Why tell you to do something when they can get you to choose to do it...

I'm worried that once self driving cars have over 2x less deaths per mile driven than driven cars the normies will push for a ban.

>>17467199
In yurop, they're more likely to push for a ban on non-electric cars because muh environment.
Multiple governments have already proposed bans on non-electric cars before 2030.

>>17467219
ban production or outright?

>>17467227
Ban sale, so reserves will slowly dry up over time (usually when leases run out and the cars in question are exported to eastern Europe).

I wouldn't be surprised if ICEs are banned in metro areas and heavily taxed otherwise. I don't see self-driving electric cars ever replacing ICE in rural areas, not in our lifetime at least.

Essentially we will be banished to the toe gay and I'm ok with that.

Jay Leno said that electric cars will save the internal combustion engine, much like automobiles saved the horse back in the day. Not having to do all the daily work, they would rather become hobbies for people interested in them. Horses are obsolete if you think about it, but people still keep them, use them and have fun with them. The same will probably happen with cars.

But ICE's don't leave piles of shit everywhere

Will trucks come with 220v outlets in the truckbed

>>17467343
What's your point?

>what is grandfathering
Also this
>>17467133

>>17467361
People were much more willing to give up horses.

>>17467114
the same thing that happened to the desktop computer market once everyone got smartphones and laptops, they'll turn into items for enthusiasts and people who need them for work

>>17467114
>What will realistically happen when (((self-driving electric cars))) take over?

They wont.

>Will car hobbyists basically be out of a hobby?
plateless unregistered sportbikes

>>17467399
That's probably true. There's a lot of negativity towards electric cars from people who want to keep using gas. But they need to realize that if everyone who don't care about cars, and just want to get to work, use electric cars, it's going to benefit them as car enthusiasts.

The 2020 hybrid F-150 will supposedly have a generator mode with electrical outlets in the bed. And if it catches on, expect the others to follow very quick.

racism outside of /b/ is against the rules

>>17467469
It's not discrimination if it's the truth.

>>17467474
racism is racism, and not allowed outside of /b/

They won't be mandated. You couldn't legislate that. To have a society of self driving cars, you would require a high tech 5g Network where all vehicles talk to each other. If you are a farmer out in Wyoming, with absolutely no cell signal, are you breaking the law by driving your car to town? No.

Besides. I don't think a self driving car has the brain power to overcome a few challenges

>Being about to cross 5 Lanes of traffic in a quarter mile to exit
>The ability to make the decision to turn left on a yellow when it turns red on a busy street
>Who to kill in the event of an imminent accident.

>>17467458
how does it feel having to obey laws cuck. cops see me doing triple the speed limit and they don't even turn their lights on because they know they have no chance

>>17467469
Show me where it says that nigger.

fuck off

Your logic is very sound. I'm just concerned that it may not play out that way. Primarily, I'm worried that gasoline will become more expensive. Having a weekend car that gets 12 mpg city and 17 highway is bad enough as it is.

>>17467498
as for the "who to kill"
there is a website (forgot the link) that is based on morals of who to kill in those situations, when brakes are locked up or whatever and you have to kill either the driver/passengers, or a decision of ppl on the road

>>17467548
I think there was a very fascinating thread a while back about driverless big ribs, and that due to ethics a robotic semi would have to disable itself before a human could be harmed. The basic problem was that because the truck would have to park itself before or caused harm to the operator of the vehicle, even if they were trying to rob it. This means that your truck is now a sitting duck when driving through uninhabited areas
