Once the number of networked self driving cars reaches a critical mass, politicians will begin to push human driven cars off the busiest highways as a way of increasing traffic flow without building new highways. And as the accident statistics grow in building the case that self driving cars are safer (not flawless), the public will embrace the change for teens, elderly, accident prone and soon anyone who wants to do something else other than drive while commuting to work. And that's when driverless Uber style transporation in an anonomous vehicle will become the norm in urban settings. People who drive thundering Cobras and the like will be seen as quaint reminders of a distant past when they gather in packs to travel the back roads where they are still allowed.
