Most people like leaving crap in their car and having it ready at a moments notice. I definitely think people will want self driving cars - but as a feature in the car they buy.
The exception will be those in the city where it’s a pain to find parking.
- ddingus 8y agoAnd how much of the population is in city zones? I agree with you having it as a feature. People will want to own the car. When they no longer control the car, but make requests, that subtle difference will cause a lot of things to play out very differently, IMHO.
- jdsully 8y agoDo you think Ford, GM, Toyota, etc will just give up and say Google owns the car market now? Nobody is going to have a monopoly on this technology. If there’s no monopoly then you want to sell as many cars as possible and that means personal ownership.
- ddingus 8y agoWell, did Ford not just basically quit cars, but for one model? Watch GM do a similar thing. Yes, they want to sell and for the reason you gave. I am saying they will not do anywhere near as well with fully self deiving cars. The ownership incentives are very different.
