Right, but lets keep that analogy going, it's a good one.

One can envision perhaps a future where, e.g. the majority of people (everywhere) don't drive cars because of public transport + Waymos.

In that world, issues surrounding "humans driving" take on a completely different flavor and relevance. Safety matters less, preferences of interfaces can matter more, etc. etc.

And I suppose it feels like the programming equivalent is around the corner, if not already here.
