I am all for choices. 

Every freeway should be 3 lanes, 2 lanes for 'normal' regular cars, one lane for autonomous, buses, trucks, etc. 

Actually, make all buses and trucks autonomous too. Everything in that lane can travel at a set speed.

So people who choose to drive themselves can drive on 2 lanes while the autonomous crowd can travel as one group 'train'. 

Let gas engine live, while letting electric cars thrive. People who are self conscious can choose to drive their electric car and think they are helping the environment, while people driving gas cars can use up the 'spare' carbon credit the EV users left behind. Nothing is wasted. 

So if my neighbourhood is full of EV cars, then I can feel good driving a quad V12 car doing 1/3 mile per gallon and I won't even feel guilty.

Is that selfish? Absolutely not. The EV hugging people are the selfish and self centered ones. They think just because they choose to go 'green' everyone else should give up their choices and join them.
