Now one set of speculation is that uber will take over the world. People won't own cars anymore, now you'll just call for a ride to xyz place.
How could Uber or any ride share company take over if car ownership goes away? you are contradicting yourself.

He's saying personal car ownership, not a business ownership of cars.

I was using uber as an example, but if you prefer uncle sam, of the state, that's fine, please substitute whichever entity into that sentence you like and then re read it.

Wouldn't losing the ability to travel around as you please be similar to enslavement? If you wanted to up and drive to <insert location> this instant, but couldn't because the Government run transportation system didn't make that route.
Isn't that essentially slavery to your location / job?

This is slavery:

Enslavement is the act of making someone a slave. A slave is a person who is the legal property of another and is forced to obey them. Being tied to a specific location is not enslavement or even similar to it. It's having less options.

A slave has 2 choices, do as you're told, or be beaten / killed. I don't really see the difference (sorry)

Being stuck in one location to me is comparable to false imprisonment. Which is equatable to slavery in that you aren't free to do what you want.
So to say "if you can't travel, that's just less options" is equatable to slavery in that you aren't able to do what you want.

It just sounds to be like you think the government is encroaching on our liberty (assuming you are American). There is an argument for that for sure.

The american government is assuredly trying to take more and more from me. (I am american) but the topic is government / company owned mass automated transportation.
If personal ownership isn't an option the only result is less choice. Which would lead to less freedom to do what you want, when you want.

I really mean no offence but you're way way... way off the mark.
Being unable to travel is in no way, shape or form similar to being owned.

IMO we aren't free to do what we want. We have laws. To you they may be just but to another person they may not be. Are they a slave? Are you a slave? I don't think the argument goes anywhere

I think there is a grey area where the lack of choice could potentially be considered similar to slavery but it would have to be very very restricted way above what is being described.

Let's for example use the old mining companies in the America's. These companies would build towns, railroads, and housing, ship people in and pay them a wage. But the only place they could shop was the local store, which was owned by the Mining company. (along with the rail-road and everything else).
If the employees wanted to leave, they were forced to walk, the Mining company railroad wouldn't transport them.
They were hundreds of miles away from anything, so walking clearly isn't an option. So they are forced to stay in the Mining Village. But to stay they were forced to work, to "earn" money and spend said money at the store.
This is a form of slavery.
I don't see how we as modern humans could ever be forced to travel at the schedule of a business. Ever.

Should self driving cars have human operable brakes, or an override steering wheel?
Not really. Not once we go to all autonomous because it would be a rogue vehicle that cannot be predicted. It will be that way for a long time, but ultimately it has to go away as that would just add a lot of risk.

So if autonomous cars are a good thing, should they have an Override function?
Should a human ever be allowed to drive a car if it is truly self driving?
they already do, with breaking.
I'm sure you've seen the ads.My point is, if autonomous cars are better than humans, why should we allow a human to ever be able to control the vehicle? We should only input the address of where we want to go, tap a button and be on our way. The car should do everything from there, route planning and everything else.
Correct, that is where it needs to get to. The question is really just "how quickly."
