The technology behind self driving cars is great, and in a world without "them" I'd be all for it.

Here's the reality, you're going to be priced out of driving by insurance rates. Driving it yourself is going to cost more insurance. Meanwhile once a car can drive itself you're not going to leave it sitting in the drive way when i can be out and about making you money. This is where Uber will step in to rent out your car. Sounds great right? Well the maintenance for Uber drivers is already higher then the money they're making so not so much a good idea in the long run. But for uber they can afford bulk discounts on car purchase and repair, fleet vehicles. So while it is not longer financially practical for you to rent your own vehicle out, it makes so much sense to rent an Uber. Basically fewer and fewer people will own cars until Uber has the monopoly they crave on transportation.

Ok so what's my point. Well you're no longer able to afford to drive a car due to insurance, and owning a car is financially impractical. And the government can program the self driving car to avoid entire areas of the country you'll never be allowed to see again unless you walk there or take a horse. People will be further boxed into the cities with fewer chances to escape. And then, everytime the government wants to kill off someone they don't like, they just crash your self driving car into a human driver, alter the records in the car, and blame the human driver (protip: this is something they already can do and it happens sometimes ie micheal hastings)
