For all the concern about the "War on Cars," some car lovers perceive self-driving cars as the real threat to the driving experience and the car culture that comes with it.

Jamie L. LaReau reports on the emergency of an organization called Save Driving, which has emerged in response to the threat of self-driving cars taking over the roads.
Car enthusiast and classic car insurer McKeel Hagerty created Save Driving with the purpose of protecting human driving and keeping car culture alive in the face of technological innovation. "Hagerty said he wants people-driven cars to share the roads, not surrender them, with robot cars," writes LaReau.
Call it the resistance to an autonomous future—as people like Hagerty and his growing organization fight for the freedoms of personal car ownership.
