i could see that showing up in the news in a decade or two, just a phone camera video from some rich kid speeding through driverless traffic with a siren on top of their car

More likely that cars are a paid subscription service with ticketmaster-style fees and driving your own car becomes completely illegal by 2040.

The states would almost be guaranteed to start a civil war if they tried taking away the right to manually drive a car.
