And soon everyone else who doesn't have young kids, and then ultimately you: riding in the back of a far safer self-driving car.

You will be able to give your full attention to your children instead of having them distract you from the road. In the future it might seem downright irresponsible to drive your children yourself. Sure you'll drive for fun sometimes, but not with the kids in the back.

Despite your safety argument, couples with young children will be by far the last consumers to use self-driving cars.

Parents do plenty of horribly "unsafe" things with their kids, but the point is _they_ do them -- they aren't going to pass the responsibility for their children's lives on to a computer willingly. Heck, I've known people who refused to take their children on driverless trains, they sure won't put them into a driverless car.
