I always figured if I had (access to) a self driving car I'd live further out of the city because I could be on a laptop or even sleep for part of the commute. Thus have more affordable housing. And while those are technically possible on public transportation (bus) . I don't want to sleep on a bus. Especially if I am by myself with a laptop bag. And the times it takes to wait for bus and walk to/from makes it unappealing. But a private pod is completely different for my scenario
