In the long run I think a lot of people just won't have cars. Not having to have a garage(well, ok a garage to store a car) pay for a parking spot, worry about all the other costs...just call for a car like a taxi. There will be so many that it just won't be an issue, and people will wonder why anyone would want one of their own. It's obvious Uber sees this as the future, drivers are an inconvenient middle step for them.
I can see the day when human operated vehicles will be banned form major roadways, it will just be to unsafe and all the smart cars will be able to do it faster with many more vehicles on the road. It will start with a few lanes here and there, but eventually it is inevitable.
