I intend to get one when they become self driving (no idea when this will happen though) as i'm not allowed to drive for medical reasons.

Hey, me too!
I think fully-autonomous self-driving cars are a ways off but as pointed out, there's a lot of legal gubbins to sort out with regards to safety and whether or not a qualified legal "driver" needs to be present. They are designing cars without steering wheels so it's definitely on someone's radar, but it remains to be seen how regulation turns out.
All that being said, I suspect self-driving cars will be more like subscription taxi services than a vehicle you just buy outright.
