Yes I believe that and I will actively work toward a future that does not contain (most) autonomous vehicles.
Pick any date in the future and I will wager that my 16yo son can more intelligently navigate a tricky driving scenario and deal more effectively with tough edge cases.
In addition to our human superiority at driving we also owe it to each other to enter these driving transactions with literal skin in the game. I need to know that your driving strategies are backed up with "... or else I will be dead".
The solution to our societal woes is not the further over-production of personal autos and autonomous driving - it is the investment in real mass transit (the kind that runs on rails).
I only see this taking over if it's force fed down the publics throat by authoritarian regimes (China style). The public at-large doesn't want an algorithm to completely remove the steering wheel...Needs to be a fluid mixture of human and algorithm with these self-driving designs (Tesla style). Sorry.
