Since less youth are getting driver's licences/cars than before, I wouldn't be surprised if that is what happens. A family buys a self-driving car that drops off and picks up everyone when needed. Driver's licences will drop within a generation, the tests for a licence will get harder and more costly. Inspections and registrations will also have higher qualifications, so old cars will be either scrapped or kept as a hobby or collectors item. Thinking more and more about it, I'm loving the potential future.
