Illegal? Nah, but probably so expensive they leverage massive luxury taxes on it to the point where very few can afford to drive. Of course that won't happen until there is a big enough market shift where self driving cars/other modes of transportation have enough market penetration to replace traditional cars. Of course in many places (like most of the country) infrastructure and utility of such self driving vehicles are impractical for these populations.

Maybe you're right that the general population would be stupid enough to swallow that... I suppose it equates to the same thing for the everyday citizen.

I mean why anger people by making something illegal when they can profit by making it inaccessible.

I don't think it's hard to find counterexamples for poor people: Drugs.

Of course almost all laws don't apply to the truly rich.
