A family of six or more is quite unusual. 62% of households are two people or less, 78% are three or less and 91% are four are less. Your use case does not need to get solved for there to be a huge reduction in the number of privately owned cars.
- stretchwithme 8y agoThat's true. But that use case will be solved too. Automated vehicles will come in all sizes. Families aren't the only groups that like to travel together. If there is a market for such vehicles, somebody will offer it.
- dsnuh 8y agoI'm not arguing that these vehicles and markets won't exist, merely that I don't think they will eliminate or become even the majority mode of transportation in America. I feel like there are many unrealistic techno-utopian assumptions that have to be made to get to a future where private car ownership in America is for collectors and edge cases.
