They are going to be extinct anyway once self-driving cars become common.

This gives them a headstart to figure something else out.

I think they have figured it out: Uber and Lyft are going to buy most of them.

Not exactly. If they are smart, they'll buy a fleet of automated cabs. It's essentially part of a ride share program. If you create a large enough pool, most people would never need to own their own car. The biggest hurdle is people with small children.

They still will NEVER allow drunk people to be in self-driving cars.

Self-driving cars will always require at least 1 sober person with a drivers license in the car. They will have to have manual override in case of emergencies.
