Another thing to consider is, if you're just calling a magic box on wheels to take you from A to B then disappear again, why would you can who it was made by, what style it was, and so on?I wonder if the manufacturers have fully thought this through from their own perspective... I mean I can't imagine ticking a box for "... and it must be a Volvo" when I summon one, I simply wouldn't care!
- greggman 9y agoI'd care. for a long trip > 15 minutes I'd want a quiet and comfortable car. Quiet so I can relax and/or listen to audio without having to crank up the volume over the noise of the car. comfortable might include seats big enough I can put my notebook on my lap and work. comfortable might also mean a luxury style suspension so the ride is not hard.
- the8472 9y agoElectric autonomous vehicles will already be quiet without much effort compared to today's predominant ICE cars. And comfort, well... the absence of a steering wheel, the center console and all that will free up space for some nicer seats. And today a lot of cars waste a lot of space on cargo space in situations where you're not carrying any cargo. With hailable fleets they could have a mix of vehicles with and without trunks, the trunkless ones offering more interior space for the passengers. I don't see those general feature changes to be specific to manufacturer brands, they are more a feature set optimized for sale towards ride hailing services because they might not work as well for individually-owned cars.
