EldrickOnIce made the point I was going to make: it's not the government that'll force you car lovers to stop driving, it's the insurance companies. Once the data starts rolling in and we find that the group saying they drive better than machines are x% more likely to kill someone, those rates are going to explode.
Does it suck for those that love to drive? For sure, but a twitter joke (that I'll have to paraphrase) summed it up well:
"So there was a time when people drove their own cars?"
"Yep."
"And nobody died?"
"Oh God no, millions died"
It puts into perspective how we'll one day look back on conversations like this and be astounded that anybody didn't agree.
