Once the service goes up, people adapt to it and can no longer live without it. So it's a baby step initiative, yet more states should be proactive in passing legislation like this. I know Elon bashed the California HSR, but I wouldn't take everything he says seriously. In stumping for the electric-car, the self-driving car, and high-speed rail, Elon is trying to portray himself as unilaterally progressive on technology, but he's also hedging his bets. The electric car is a joke, self-driving cars might be a square dance and only HSR is the real future of reducing emissions, costs and danger. One of those will stick and he'll profit off of that.

Two problems with what you've said.

So it's been a few years and things have changed. "Smart cars" and "self-driving cars" are not synonymous, although they may have been at some point. It's definitely not true now.
A smart car essentially runs on telematics. This is advertised as a security feature you have to pay to opt-in to: it provides emergency access, roadside assistance, in-dash navigation (GPS) and onboard diagnostics. But you also also wiretapped in three ways: -location, which is sold to third parties to try and sell you real time services -usage, which is sold to insurance companies -internet search history, in-car conversations, which are used with location to sell real time services There are huge barriers to self-driving cars that will prevent them from appearing in the next decade, if not the next two. The first being that while computers capable of managing an IoT will be possible, 5G falls well short of being able to deliver the connectivity people need for it. It's a physical problem related to the propagation characteristics of milimetre wave spectrum, the only radio waves with the capacity to carry all the necessary data. So instead, there's been an industry push toward the connected car, which is really a 4G-era idea that is being expanded on for 5G, and sold as a progressive service. In reality, it offers marginal improvement over the status quo in exchange for giving away your biometrics for free. And the worst part is you're paying to give away your biometrics when it should be the opposite, companies should pay you to give them better information on what ads to serve. Not really a debate at this point anymore, but it'll be interesting to see if we have some breakthroughs in technology that still lets this happen. Once everyone is hooked-up Matrix style I don't know that the telecommunications industry would even want self-driving cars.
