But if they do disappear, it isn't going to be because they are outlawed.
It is going to be because not enough of the people who are buying cars want one anymore. The same can, and probably will, happen with non-autonomous cars.
That being said, I do think that there will be room in the marketplace for high performance autonomous cars along with more pedestrian autonomous cars just as there are both types of non-autonomous cars today. Perhaps this possibility will allow for the M brand and similar brands to live on past the end of this century.

A driving enthusiast can still be a driving enthusiast with DCT IMO.

Agree. Similarly, I suspect that automotive enthusiasts in general will still find ways of being automotive enthusiasts even without having to actually pilot their vehicles.
