“Cities will ban human drivers once the data confirms how dangerous they can be behind a wheel. This will spread to suburbs, and then beyond. There will be a “mass stranding of existing vehicles”
“The value of second-hard cars will plunge. You will have to pay to dispose of your old vehicle.”

“The cost per mile for EVs will be 6.8 cents, rendering petrol cars obsolete. Insurance costs will fall by 90 per cent. The average American household will save $5,600 per year by making the switch. The US government will lose $50 billion a year in fuel taxes. ”
“The Robot Revolution Will Take Your Car, Your Mom’s Car, and All the Oil in 13 Years”
