The European Union wants elderly people (70+) to undergo medical tests from now on to prove that they are still capable of driving a car every five years. However, the proposal has been met with a lot of criticism.

What you’re ignoring in this hypothetical situation however, is that self driving cars won’t be ‘self driving’ for long long time.
Level 5, fully automated vehicles (where the driver can literally be asleep, and doesn’t have to pay attention or intervene) are a long way from being implemented onto public roads. Ill be surprised if we see level 5 automated vehicles in 2040 like many manufacturers seem to believe.
Oh it’s very much an “eventually” solution, and we should 100% have solutions for the acute problem we’re seeing now.
For instance, properly supported seniors would not have a need to drive at all.
Yeah that’s fair and I very much agree!
