>That we will see the demise of self-ownership of cars when you state
I stated no such thing, a car having self-driving capabilities has literally nothing to do with the ownership/proprietor status of said car.
>Someone who has a car that has a "self-driving mode" can just as easily get behind the wheel and operate the car in manual mode because in their impaired state they also "think" they are ok to drive.
You are still thinking way too much in the present. Try to imagine a future where pretty much every vehicle on the street is autonomously self-driving, legalities have changed that no human "security driver" is required anymore. In such a setting it would become the norm to do something other than driving while traveling in a vehicle, like being productive or having some leisure time. Sure enough, there will still be people who would want the "thrill" of controlling their vehicles themselves, but manual driving will probably be reserved to special lanes/circuits, due to how rare it will become and it negatively impacting the performance of the fully autonomous traffic.
We won't get there from now to tomorrow, we will only get there with many small baby steps until we are actually there.
