Re: One "Humble "Suggestion....
I think it was Kevin Kelly who said no technology ever dies. There are only a few examples where a tool was so toxic/dangerous that it was never used again after being invented. E.g. Radioactive paint for clock hands.... So I'm sure dumb cars will exist for as long as civilization does. But AVs will likely take over someday when they get smart enough.

If autonomous software actually becomes common, maybe we'll also have autonomous bikes? I think there was one autonomous motorcycle entry in the DARPA Grand Challenge that started the autonomous car boom...

Re: One "Humble "Suggestion....
@mhhf1ve you mean a motorized bike or one that still needed human power for pedaling? It would be odd to still have to pedal but have the bike decide where to go. Now if it's an autonomous motorcyle, it would likely not be too popular because the riders rarely abide by the strict rules of the road. They do ride between lanes to get ahead of traffic, for example, something that autonmous driving programming would probably disallow.

You don't think anyone would want to pedal on a "stationary bike" that autonomously drove itself to where you wanted to go? :)
