Public transport will continue to exist because it'd too expensive to build enough roads. London without Bus & Tube? You could walk faster than using a self driving car (recent tube strikes confirm that).
It would hurt medium distance flights and trains though. Boston-NYC would probably be more attractive in a self driving car than flying.
- greggman 10y agoAI cars are supposed to solve traffic. That assumes all cars are AI cars but that's certainly one possible future (30-50yrs out). I'm sure someone thought horses would still be a thing when cars were introduced. I think it will go the same with AI cars. People will find the convenience too hard to resist and and some point I suspect human drivers will be relegated to race tracks and country roads
