Should it ever be illegal to drive?
Imagine a future where autonomous transportation is the norm. You tap your phone and a car arrives anywhere, anytime. No parking struggles, no insurance, no buying gas. The very idea of owning a vehicle feels as dated as dial-up internet.
In that world, society might eventually blame humans for accidents to the point that human driving is deemed unsafe.
So what do you think? Should driving be a protected right, or could driving on public roads one day be made illegal?
