Elon Musk: Cars you can drive will eventually be outlawed

I can't help but notice that Musk is not pushing for democratization of electrical cars. He doesn't feel like a new Ford.

Self driving cars are already road legal in a number of states: http://edition.cnn.com/2012/09/25/tech/innovation/self-drivi...

There is security concern about self driving vehicles, like there is already for drone: http://theaviationist.com/2013/11/13/heron-hacked-afghanista...

And despite having over 10 years experience fielding remote controlled/partly automated vehicle, the loss from the DOJ are mounting: http://www.washingtonpost.com/sf/investigative/2014/06/20/wh...

The future is not all rose for self driving civilian vehicles.

He hasn't spent much time between the coasts, I guess. You'll outlaw cars in this country when you pry them from Americans' cold, dead hands. The transition to driverless cars may, perhaps should, happen in the biggest cities. But in the rest of the US, it's not a technological problem so much as an identity issue.

If this actually happens we are Goners...

This will take a very long time to happen but it makes sense. I love to drive my vehicle but the amount of danger present in driving is astronomical. If over 30k deaths per year can be avoided by taking away manual driving, I am all for it.
