One thing I haven't seem mentioned is that when you're driving yourself, you anticipate and prepare your body for the changes in direction and acceleration/deceleration, so the car appears to drive smoother. If the disengagement rate is not zero (human becoming just a passenger), you still have to pay attention to the road and people may prefer to drive themselves because of this effect, maybe with exception of the highway. If the road rules stay unchanged, the self-driving car will also usually be slower in getting to the destination, as it will be set to strictly follow the speed limits and yellow lights, and if it's too deferential to other cars.

And you're also holding on to the steering wheel, which makes a big difference. Everyone I know who has motion sickness when being in a car on a winding road never experience motion sickness when they are the driver, only the passenger.
- tqkxzugoaupvwqr 9y agoWhat about today’s taxis, busses, trains, planes? I don’t see passengers pay attention to the road to prepare for driver initiated braking, lane change or speed adjustment. I would assume passengers not paying attention today in human driven vehicles will continue to not pay attention in autonomous vehicles because nothing changes (as long as these vehicles drive similar to human drivers).
- sjruckle 9y agoExcept it's not like today's taxis, busses, trains or planes. It's more like riding with a friend who's never crashed their car, but sometimes will tell you "I can't handle this right now, take the wheel." and you don't have a choice.
