I've thought about that as well. What role do motorcycles play in an automated 'smart city' type environment. I think it would be fine to ride them around automated cars (probably safer) but yeah, maybe at some point they will be viewed as 'undesirable' to have on the roads
Well they can't be effectively automated, and supposedly automated cars at the moment struggle with their presence (and cyclists too for that matter). If the automation of cars increases nanny state legislation, for sure motorcycles would be victims.
Libertarian types here are already promoting such steps for user pays infrastructure, and of course it'd also be used for law enforcement.
