George Hotz has shown it's possible to retro-fit self-driving capabilities. All the four-door sedans may be crushed, but the sedan deliveries and convertibles deserve to live on.

It’s a complicated balance, but all signs point to more new efficiency gains than losses from self-driving tech—even at its present power-hog status. The University of Michigan Center for Sustainable Systems, for instance, last year summed up the potential efficiency gains from various aspects of converting to a self-driving economy, including reduced congestion and potential savings in the weight of safety systems if such cars can be engineered not to crash.
