Just to be clear, you’re worrying about the arrival of a technology which, hype aside, shows no sign of appearing anytime soon. The downsides of your plan on people who are already disadvantaged is enormous, in favor of benefits which simply don’t exist outside of the minds of some engineers. I’m not saying that I can’t see the benefits of completely autonomous vehicles. If the technology were impending rather than in early R&D this conversation could even make sense. As it is however, it’s fighting over slices of a pie which may appear in a decade, or five decades, or more. A lot of harm can be done in the name of an imagined automated utopia, but the worst could be done when it’s still only a dream.
