Honestly, they might as well just have high speed trains everywhere at that point.

This winter I my sister got me involved in a consulting start-up related to automated vehicles, because they needed a lawyer-type to analyze the legal complications that will arise. Unfortunately it never really got off the ground, but the little bit of research into it I did definitely made me more cognizant of the subject. All the intricacies involved are super interesting.

It's extremely difficult to produce a vehicle that can respond to circumstances the way a human brain can.
So I'm thinking it's very unlikely, given what can and does go wrong with technology and mechanics, that we'll see something like mandated driverless cars in our lifetimes.
this feels like one of those clickbait articles.
you know like, there's a story in there somewhere, but if we can make it sound somehow like it's so outrageous you MUST click it, or so dire you MUST find out more, than the article has done its job.
Clickbait is literally the new journalism.
Even on air. When there's nothing to click. The clickbait mentality governs media because they are laboring under the assumption that it guides attention and therefor ad revenue.

but even still, in my research I read that in 50 years, at the rate the technology is progressing, unless legal roadblocks are thrown in the way (or develop due to the comparative lethargy of law) over half the cars on the road will have driverless abilities

I see that happening sure.
But there's a GIGANTIC gulf between "many cars will have driverless capability" and "humans to be banned from driving cars in future"

This stuff is pretty cool. Lyft and Uber are both using driverless cars in my city now.
There's still a person in the driver's seat, but they're an engineer that's sitting there looking at a laptop display instead of driving, monitoring the car.
