It sounds like the expectation is that the liability for accidents
caused by self-driving cars will rest on the manufacturer. The
car itself will also be 'licensed' to drive, and not necessarily
the passenger in the "driver's seat".
I expect the auto insurance business to take a drastic hit at the
point self-driving is widespread.

I would agree. Especially since I am a control freak anyway.
Being in a self driving car let alone being in the drivers
seat is too stressful for me. My family had a discussion
about DUI and self driving cars last weekend. What is the
consequences of being under the influence and getting behind
the wheel of a self driving car? If the car is doing the
driving and the person in the drivers seat is impaired but not
driving, can a person be held responsible for DUI? They are
not technically driving. And considering this is just the
beginning of the trend toward self driving cars, at what point
do states start putting laws on the books regarding this? I'm
sure the states are already scrambling to figure out how to
replace lost revenue from fines. I'm certainly not promoting
that someone should do this but we all know it is going to be
a court case that will be sent all the way to the top at some
point.

Researchers taught lab rats to drive tiny cars to get Froot
Loops. Analysis of their poop showed driving reduced stress.
Implications for self driving cars?
"We concluded that the rats that actually learned to drive had
a greater sense of control over their environment that was
accompanied by increased DHEA — something like a rodent
version of what we refer to as self-efficacy or agency in
humans," Lambert said in a statement.
tl;dr – driving is fun

No cup holders. Evidently they are pro drinking, but not pro
drinking in the car.

Rented a Mercedes at Nice to go visit some caves a
couple hours West. I am totally handicapped now
with my Leaf’s adaptive cruise control and lane
keeping. Just about rear-ended some cars after
setting the cruise control. Also am apt to take
my hands off the wheel.
I am surprised such a new Mercedes does not have
adaptive cruise control. At least if it does I
cannot figure out how to use it. The sat-nav
operation was totally unintuitive. Had a weird
touch pad thing in the center console. Very
difficult to program in a destination address.
Never drove a Mercedes before. Not likely to again.
