It's an outgrowth of the entitlement many Americans feel is their birthright for a variety of reasons too numerous to go into here. The key to interpreting that statement properly is to understand that there are basically as many reasons for feeling entitled as there are people -- and everyone feels their reasons are superior to everyone else's.
Fundamentally, yes -- physically, mentally, ideologically, and spiritually, this is laziness. But it's laziness borne partially through ignorance -- and a self-driving car would empower that ignorance for a class of citizen that largely lives in individually tailored and inflated bubbles.
Remember NIMBY? Not In My Back Yard?
Today it's NIMB. Not In My Brain.
It's scary. And it's why I'll drive my own car until the day I die.
