The attitude I see from younger generations is that the freedom to drive your car is like the freedom to wash your dishes or balance your checkbook by hand. Driving, specially in overcrowded cities, is increasingly seen as a chore and a hassle. Getting rid of it means freeing up from one to four hours a day to study, play, or talk to their friends.

If you want to keep driving as a hobby, I'm sure there will be some accommodations made. But just as you can't tote a rifle in a downtown mall, there will be some restrictions to make sure you don't endanger anyone.

Pretty much this. I love driving, but its my largest hassle and expense I'd like to replace with a good commuter bike.

In many states, it'd be perfectly legal to tote a rifle in a downtown mall.

Good thing, those states have lower rates of murder with firearms I'd imagine.

Yea, perhaps disable auto pilot mode when you are in less crowded areas.

If you're a "city" person, that may be the case. But it's a terribly big generalization to make about all younger generations.

The younger generations I know can't wait to drive, and have the freedom to travel where they want to.

I think it's simply the ability to be able to go wherever that lures teenagers to driving. I know that's why I got a job and saved up for my first car. You can still do this when cars are that don't require a driver.
