Not true, when I uber into work (my commute is over 1 hr), it's like a dream come true. I can work, I can relax, I can get my life-admin tasks done with, etc. Right now it's completely wasted. When you commute with other people, it's also annoying because you need to socialize when most times I would rather do the above.
If I could get a self-driving car that worked competently, it would certainly make my commute so much more tolerable.
- Johnny555 10y agoIt's funny how people have different dreams - I changed jobs to one that's a 10 minute bike ride (or 25 minute walk) from home, and that was my dream come true, not being stuck in a car for 2 or 3 hours/day, worrying about whether or not traffic is going to make me late for my morning meeting, or add another hour to my commute home. Do you really get enough benefit to living 1+ hour from work to make it worth spending 500+ hours in a car (~60 8 hour days)?
- pfarnsworth 10y agoI get what you're saying, I had a job that was 15 mins away regardless of traffic, and it made my home life so much easier. But the job sucked and my boss and his boss were both assholes. Now, I love my job, because the work I have is challenging and a lot of fun. And I love where I live, I have an amazing view and I have no backyard neighbors, it goes off into acres of wilderness, and that's hard to come by in the Bay Area. I just hate the commute. Being wealthy enough to uber to work everyday would make things perfect, but since I'm not that rich, a self-driving car would come close.
