Then you also need to overhaul the legal side of things and you need everyone to be able to afford them cause you can't ban the entire lower class from buying human driven cars.

The world where every car is self driven, bumper to bumper like has been suggested, even if we're just talking about Canada, is probably not going to happen in our lifetimes.

I'd be shocked if there was even a "self driven" lane in Calgary in less than 20 years.
