I have told my kids many times that I expect piloted cars to be a rarity in the future. Once reliable self-driving cars are common, the difficulty in obtaining a driver license will likely increase.

It’s entirely possible that self-driving cars could be realistic about the time we all get flying cars.
The reason we want self driving cars is the same reason we don't have flying cars.
Aren't flying cars and self-driving ground cars different problems, and thus likely to be solved at different times?

Self-driving is a sensing and intelligence problem, while flying seems like a mechanical, aero, and policy one.
