I highly doubt it'll go smoothly. IMO what will happen is driving standards will rise, driving tests will become extremely tough and need to be repeated every few years, and self driving tech will get cheaper and most people will just summon cars like Waymo rather than bothering to remain liscensed. There will have to be an offramp, not a firm cutoff.

Driving isn’t going smoothly now. Nothing ever goes smoothly.

“Driving standards will rise yada yada”

Nope. We’ve already established you guys will never accept any steps to safety without throwing a fit.

It’s “go big or go home”. We’ll push hard and fast because we’ll get the same pushback regardless of how small the change. So change big.

How it’ll actually go is trucking will be taken over by automatic driving because it’s cheaper. The reduction in traffic and increase in safety will be seen and immediately we’ll push for a driving ban. You’ll probably get 3-5 years to retrofit your car or buy a knew one… then that’s it. No more dangerous drivers, no more traffic…

And yes people will probably ditch private car ownership in exchange for self driving free busses and cheap taxis.

Children will be able to walk to school safely finally.
