I don't think there will be a requirement for self driving cars anytime in the future. The only way you would be able to fully realize the safety benefits of a self driving car is if everyone is using one. Hive account@ubg said that there was one self driving car accident, but that's not true. I think there has only been one self driving car accident where the the self driving car was at fault. All of the other accidents were the other, human drivers fault. As long as there are human drivers, there is still going to be a lot of accidents.

No one is going to want to be responsible for for telling everyone that millions of cars are now illegal and cannot be used because they are not self driving.
