I'd like an autonomous car. Drive the 911 when I want to have fun, "drive" the AI car when I just need to get from A to B.

Usually we keep cars for a decade or more. The wife's Prius is 11 years old . . .

Probably going to be some good values on lightly used high end non-AI cars in 5 years.

Cab and Uber drivers have no political power. Truck drivers, on the other hand . . . they might be tougher to eliminate . . . Will truckers be cutting off AI trucks, will fuel stops be refusing to serve them, will truckers be blocking roads?

Eventually we'll have 5 MM unemployed commercial drivers, many older, most with no marketable skills. They won't be helped by the US manufacturing renaissance if you think there will be one, those factories will be as automated as possible, jobs per $1 MM of output will be very low.
