That doesn't help when everyone is driving an electric car though, so maybe it should become part of income tax eventually.

a lot of people expect the ultimate model will be self driving cars that you don't own but you just use per journey, like a self driving uber.
if and when that finally happens, then it would make sense to bring in road pricing.
I don't think it will. A road user charging regime could be targetted at road use in congested areas at congested times. But, yes, technology will probably bring about its own solution - eventually. There is a whole lot of wasted time and damaging emissions to happen before then though.
