I might want to own my self-driving car if it is my private space where I sleep, eat, work.
Owning a self-driving car may be cheaper and therfore move viable if they are safe (a few sensors instead of expensive construction and safety technology).
Self-driving cars could be cheaper if they turn out to be domesticated nodes in a network instead of status symbols.
I wouldn't completely rule out car ownership just yet...
- Svip 10y agoAre you suggesting car manufacturers should forego airbags and seat belts because self-driving cars obviously would not crash? You do realise that someone else could still crash into you? Like getting T-boned in a busy junction.
- UweSchmidt 10y agoAssuming it's all self-driving and networked, why not? The next smartphone (or implant) could warn cyclists and pedestrians as well. That's a little futuristic, but sensors and software could potentially be good and cheap to get things safe.
- Svip 10y agoThat's assuming it has somewhere to go, i.e. escape.
