Teenagers will no longer need a drivers license

With the advent of fully self-driving cars, it seems inevitable that the day is quickly approaching when kids will be able to simply put into their phone where they need to go, and the family car will take them there. So that means that the 12-year-old who had to be driven to their soccer practice will be able to go on their own. Carpooling will still be a thing to reduce road traffic and to make the trip more enjoyable, but the 'app' can simply be asked to pick up Jimmy, Johnny, and Timmy on the way to soccer. The family car (or ordered car) will simply drop all of them off, wait, and then have them all back home - without the parents needing to do the driving. The same could be said for having your early teen go to the store for you to get a few things by just hopping in the self-driving car. With these conveniences readily available, teens will stop getting a license in much higher numbers than is already happening, and only those who really want to drive will be getting their license.
