In theory, they could coexist. There was some talk that Uber was going to create a "hybrid" transportation solution, where it would handle the beginning and end of your transit, dropping you off at a train for the majority of the trip and automatically picking you up at the other end for the last leg.
- huskyr 10y agoOnly Uber could re-brand the bus system as an 'innovation'.
- nine_k 10y agoA bus coming directly to my house, with no intermediate stops on its optimal route? Yes, please. I'm only sure it's not going to be $2.75 flat rate.
- erikpukinskis 10y agoIt will happen within 10 years somewhere, and it will probably not be a flat rate, but most rides will be less than $2.75. The per-mile cost for self driving electric vehicles is very low.
- mrep 10y agoThat's an extremely aggressive presumption to make without a source/explanation.
- uola 10y agoNot really. It already happened in some countries where with high development but still low salaries, like big cities in China. How/if cities will be able to deal with all the increase in traffic from self-driving cars without significant congestion charges is of course still unclear.
