Most of the people go to work around the same time. Additionally, people most go in the same direction. Therefore, self driving car won't be able to serve 10 commuters per day. 2-3 is the max.
I suspect, most of owned cars are used to drive to work. So, I don't see how self driving taxi/sharing will solve commuting issue and therefore, owning a car will be still popular.

- secabeen 8y agoNow you're heading home. There are 4 people in the car. Who gets dropped off first? My carpool partner lives less than a mile from me. It still takes almost 10 minutes to divert and drop her off. If you're the last drop off, you lose 60 minutes a day to these drop-offs and pickups.
