TV ad campaign against human driving in 3-5 years will drive voting to ban it | there'll be a TV ad campaign probably 3, 4, 5 years from now with lots of ugly images in it. And then there'll be massive amounts of voting, and then people will say it's inconceivable that you would drive on a public road
