Even the most rabid car enthusiast will embrace driverless cars when he becomes too old to drive and the alternative is being stuck in his house in his auto-oriented suburb.

Maybe it is that way in Texas but not in the States where I have lived.

I do not know anywhere one does not have to take the test to get a driver's license.
Even those who take Driving School have to test to get an actual driver's license.
Well it could just be idiots who said that on the Internet.

More and more people (especially millennials) are moving back to the cities for jobs so cars are becoming much less relevant.

But as idiotic as people drive nowadays, I welcome driver less cars.

You should practice driving more and you'll most likely get better.

This is mostly due to the dire job prospects of young people. Cars are expensive. The younger generations are leaving their parents suburbs for the cities where the job and culture are. These places usually have public transit and walk ability so cars are not as needed.

But isn't that just what you are telling us? That we need to get a driverless car because YOU think it's what we should do? Seems like hypocrisy to me. You have issues with people not wanting driverless cars, and with people wanting to live in rural areas, so why do you care? What's your stake in how others choose to live their lives?

Maybe you should just mind your own business.
