I can say that I have very little interest in it, even though my commute sucks, can't say that I get enjoyment out of being stuck in traffic either.
However, I also would consider myself not out of touch with where things are headed, even being nearly 40, being an engineer. and things ARE headed the way of either autonomous driving, or the apocalypse (either the apocalypse happens, or we get at a minimum semi-mandatory autonomous driving, pick one, there is no other choice). So I would rather the option with semi-mandatory autonomous driving, where we have the option of actually driving our stuff at more times/places than just a racetrack or off road, same with riding my motorcycles. Significantly better option that mandatory fully autonomous roads, where you get to drive nowhere, ever. No driving, ever, no matter the time, or place. And if we keep our heads buries in the sand and cling only the extreme of no autonomous driving ever, we're going to get hit with a big dang bat and get the complete opposite of what we want, so we need to look at the reasonable alternatives and start trying to meet in the middle. (either we compromise, and get to keep some/most of what we want, or we refuse to compromise, and lose everything that we want).
similar to how, eventually, it is highly likely that gas powered cars and trucks will be limited to off-road use only, either trail use, or track use, but never public road use. Now, is that 5 years or 50 years, don't know, but it will happen, and again, trying to say it won't and refusing to have any discussion will only likely result in losing the ability to even own a running gas powered vehicle much less able to use one off road or on private property when the time comes.
