I have a question for you. How many years after the introduction of the gasoline powered automobile did it take before horse-drawn vehicles became illegal on the roads?

Near where I live (eastern Pennsylvania, USA) one still encounters a horse-and-buggy occasionally, especially near Amish areas. And a few roads (interstates and limited access highways) are specifically posted for motor vehicles only.

I posit that there will be a LONG period in which manually operated cars will share the road with self-driving cars.
