content: I think that "we'll make it illegal for humans to drive" was Elon Musk pontificating. And he drew an analogy to elevators, where we used to have human operators, but that was phased out because computer controlled are safer, and better (but I don't believe we ever made human-operated elevators illegal, so not the perfect analogy. But I do think it'd be something we could see. First with semi-trailers, who due to their size and often hazardous contents pose a greater risk, along with often being driven by people taking risks (driving too long, or while exhausted). Once that becomes normal, then we slide down the scale of acceptable, until eventually it is illegal to drive manually, except at certain times or locations (I'm picturing something akin to an air show, but where people tow their manual cars to a town, and in that town for one weekend you're allowed to drive). But, on point of discussion, it seems like the obvious difference is that jailbreaking your phone won't possibly end up with someone dead. If you're in a collision today, and you're drunk when it happens, even if it's arguable the other person's fault, you're going to be viewed as at least partly responsible. I think that same sort of responsibility-shift would happen with jail-broken vehicles.
