I would think a LOT more would have to happen, politically, for our cars to become illegal nationwide. I could see the push for this to happen in metropolitan areas, inside city limits, where no one gives a crap about driving cars anyway. Like, if you want to drive to the city, you can drive to a point then get on a train or call a driving service. However, I think, as long as rural people own rural land and continue to choose to be self sufficient, forcing them to spend a lot of money for a vehicle they don't want, can't control and can't afford to fix may make them feel like their freedom is being messed with, a little more.
I, personally, struggle with modern cars already. They Just don't do EXACTLY what you tell them to do. They only do what they "think" you should do. No doubt, modern performance cars are badass but the biggest thing I miss about my old SRT10 truck is the cable that connected the pedal to the throttle.
