I've already ridden in a driverless Lyft as part of a trial, and really in cities I prefer Uber/Lyft or subway, I don't have a pressing need for a car

- folkrav 8y agoI've had my license for 12+ years now, but as soon as I moved into the city, I sold my car. Even with a child I get by just fine with carsharing services, Uber/taxis and public transit.
- gsich 8y agoI would argue that getting a drivers license is different then needing a car.
- ikeboy 8y agoI've never needed to drive. It would be mildly more convenient if I could, but not enough for me to justify spending another few dozen hours practicing to pass the test when it'll be an obsolete skill soon enough
- gsich 8y agoIt's still nice to have it. You gain a lot of independence be it home or on vacation. It's nice not being dependent on taxis/public transport or anyone else. This holds especially true if you are not in an urban area, and busses that don't drive 24/7 classify as those, so it's not only the typical "rural" regions. And no, it won't be obsolete soon. And by "soon" I mean what I wrote earlier, 10+ years.
