I believe that it will, within my lifetime, become illegal to drive your own vehicle on public roads.
I don't think that's going to happen. It might happen on some roads, in order to reduce congestion or whatever, but there's no reason to ban human drivers in general.
That's because "autopilots" can run in passive/safety mode, ready to take over and prevent you doing anything really stupid. This is already starting to happen, in fact, with AEB to be installed in all new cars by 2022.
