It does make sense though. The majority of people have driven a car and can relate to the hassles. Especially with drunk driving. Eliminating drunk driving is in everyone's best interest and hard to argue. Plus who would fight against self-driving cars? The only self-interest groups here would be the drivers themselves and even then I don't think it'll be a big enough lobby group.

Automobile manufacturers will see their market shrink considerably due to higher utilization from autotaxis.

Maybe a subscription model, now you can't pay once and maintain your car with your local mechanic for 20 years, it has to be done by the manufacturer and contains expensive software updates?
