This would be huge. Half or less of the cars equal mobility. If a single family car could drive home so my daughter could drive to school and then drive back to work so I could drive home it would be awesome. You still get near full autonomy for a family with a single car. No-human driving is probably a tougher policy hurdle than human-ready-to-take-the-wheel driving, but it would be amazing.
- HeyLaughingBoy 11y agoIt's not very likely though. If a single car would suffice, then most families would already have just one car. The reason they tend to have two or more is because multiple people need to get to different places, in different directions, at roughly the same time. If my wife and I need to be at work by 9AM and we work in opposite directions, it doesn't matter if the car is self driving or not. Either one of us is going to be late, or we both have to leave exceptionally early. Likewise for going home. IOW: people tend to acquire multiple vehicles out of necessity, not poor planning.
