He continues: “What will happen to self-driving vehicle technologies in a near-term future where humans are able to finally be free of the Dark Alliance?”

When totally free of suppression of thinking and with enough healing to undo the distortions introduced through the many millennia of manipulation, humans will be free at last to make better choices. So, many of the existing technologies will continue in order to enjoy their benefits, but there may be some constraints and limitations placed on frequency of use and specific applications, and so on, with better awareness and deeper understanding of the trade-offs, so there will not be a problem. If the interlopers withdraw, humans will then be free at last to reconfigure the world and how things are done, and decisions made to better balance how all can benefit rather than a few, such as having high degrees of automation that make work for most people unavailable when in fact people need to have useful work as physical humans for many reasons—people need a purpose and that contributes greatly to their learning and growth.
