But a 8 year old car nowadays means a polluting car, not an electric one. I don't see fleets of self driving cars being the same as public transportation or as taxis, I view them as something between private transportation and public transportation, an enhanced version of the we nowadays call car pooling. A self driving vehicle can be a private one but at the same time, it could be also used to provide rides to other people other than the owner. For example: I am imagining that it would make it easier for companies and work places to arrange an efficient transportation to their employees without relying on the local governments or in public transportation agencies. But I admit that expecting this to be revolutionary and game changing for the environment might be a bit of a stretch.
