like you can do on a bus, train, or plane today. Actually that is kind of a money quote. What is the killer app(lication) of driverless cars (figuratively)? Ar

  > What is the killer app(lication) of driverless cars (figuratively)? They can take you places that buses, trains and planes can't take you directly today, the places that you must use a car, driven by either yourself, or someone else, to get to today. Of course, if you have a very good bus or train system where you live, then this is less the case, but most areas in the US don't have good public transit coverage. There is an orthogonal problem, though, which is the congestion caused by all low-occupancy vehicles (self-driving vehicles included). This can (and hopefully will) be addressed by bringing self-driving tech to higher occupancy vehicles, like minibuses and full sized buses.
