I enjoy driving, but don't like having to drive. Bicycling even more so as it's the other drivers on the road that freak me out. I saw a kid today holding his smart phone right above the wheel so he could see everything except what he was pointed at. In the 60s we knew enough to keep the doobie below the windows.

So there will be more traffic circles and less traffic lights. The jobs that will go away: truck driver, bus driver, taxi driver, ...

We will—for sure—have autonomous cars before we have flying cars.
