Will autonomous cars with nothing but Netflix and other video streaming services and no steering wheel also have fm radio?

I can easily forsee within my lifetime the banning of traditional human road drivers.

Will require two things, a shift in vehicle insurance costs.

And the costs for personal insurance and fuel to be a barrier swaying public interest.

There will still be a desire to drive, although falling out of popularity including stigma against "drivers" who less safe than the systems designed to protect passengers, but are willing to pay for the pleasure.
