I think you're partially right... it'll start with insurance companies, they'll charge people that insist on driving it themselves more for the right (due to safer standards (not that I'm saying this is the case, just that THEY will say it is)).

Then local Gov will charge more to allow non robot cars on the road ( less wear and tear on the roads, fewer roads needed due to more reliably predictable drivers and fewer accidents).

Then lastly manufactures will get to a point that they need to simplify their production range and will pretty much only produce self driving.

lastly, culturally the demand will change. the ipad generation dont want to have learn to drive or have to spend their screen time driving. the damand from them alone will push for self driving cars.
