> Cost: We're not there yet, but not paying registration/insurance/repayments/garage space will make this economical in time - at first at least for second car owners
> Liability: Insurance - I think automation will be safer i.e. less accidents
> Utility: I think door to door driving without looking for parking is a pretty good perk
> Pool vs. own: Both of these models will be competitive with each other, so in the end it won't matter
plus there will be additional benefits
Safety: Less drunk drivers on the road, less accidents from fatigue, etc.
Cost: at a minimum, it will bring cab prices down
Efficiency: Less traffic jams as autonomous systems won't slam on the brakes when they see a police car, etc. Smoother flowing traffic, higher legal road speeds if reaction time is shorter
And then there are other non-car transport which will benefit: logicistics, mail, deliveries etc. Minibuses that could pick you up door to door through automated route planning etc.
