I had this discussion recently with a friend.He's not into cars, drives to/ from work and hates every minute of it, he studies automation and is getting more and more involved with it and he's very enthusiastic that it'll take over completely within our lifetime. I hate the idea of it but with the safety results Tesla is already making, it will be a hard battle we will never win with insurance companies.
I think over a very long period we'll see a huge transition to electric automated cars, but they'll never get rid of petrol classics, motorbikes and everything else cool...they'll just make it far more expensive for us.
