1. Not as many as you think, IMHO.
2. Those folks can perhaps not turn on the self-driving feature.
3. Even those that do may have times where it is a chore (stop-and-go traffic).

If self-driving can be shown to be statistically safer than hour human-driving then your insurance company may offer you discounts for always using it. No government regulation needed: those bearing the risks will incentivize you to do the less risk-y thing.
