When the range of EV's improves to 600+ miles per charge and the cost to charge is a fraction of the price of gas. When the car is full self driving and 1000% safer than a human drivers and the cost of insurance is a fraction of what it is today. Maintenance is also a fraction of the cost of gas cars since there are so few moving parks to wear out. When the onboard computer can be used to mine crypto while the owner sleeps or can be part of a network of robo-taxies when the user doesn't need it, the car will make the owner money instead of costing them anything. Think that's far-fetched? In about 6 months it will be a reality with Tesla.

It might take awhile to get used to but as we get older these self driving cars will be a godsend to seniors. It will give them freedom that many lose when they can no longer drive. Those factory workers in Germany are afraid of losing their jobs. Understandable but protesting is not going to stop tomorrow from happening. Delay it a bit but not stop it.
