what does it mean to choose your preferred route anyway, and why would you have a preference? if its because 'this route is less busy' well, thats your idea but the car should be able to tap into traffic information anyway and route around busy areas. Even ones you didn't know about. if its because 'this route is more comfortable' then I think the car will drive safely and smoothly anyway. If the road is bumpy, then it probably won't go that way (damage to vehicle is expensive) if its because 'this route is nicer to look at' then apart from the fact that people mostly don't care to look out the window while travelling along, when they can just fiddle with their phone, the case is that it is more expensive now to travel the longer, scenic, route already so if you are willing to pay the extra you can continue doing that. The common freedom of owning a personal vehicle you mention doesn't seem to me that much of a positive thing in any case. I don't own one and when I do drive around I am always shocked at how much trouble it is to arrange to park it in a safe place when I want to get out, or maintain it. Simple self-driving vehicles that turn up when you want them and take you where you want to go, and then disappear.. Well, that sounds like a whole lot of freedom!
