That's a hell of a defeatist attitude, and exactly the result they are hoping for.
What's the advantage in having a self-driving car?

It's a shortcoming each of us will have, if we're so lucky as to live that long.
Why should a self driving car need a network connection? It's an absurd false dichotomy. Certainly that's what will be produced if the manufacturers are allowed to get away with it but that's not a technical problem it's a social and legal one.
