To be fair, the premise is that they lead to cars being used more
- natch 5y agoThe premise is that the self driving, not them being electric, leads to them being used more. But you singled out electric cars as disproportionately taking up more space than other point to point transportation solutions, for some reason. Oh and time and money… on the money point, if you look at the total cost of ownership, a $25,000 Camry costs more than a $35,000 Tesla, so I'd say that money point is open for debate. As for time, also open for debate. I presume you're referring to the time it takes to charge, which is getting faster all the time and usually takes place whole the owner is sleeping. If the vast majority of auto trips are in self driving cars, the charging time will not figure in as a factor in the experience of using a car. It hardly factors in now even. On long road trips, just stop for a quick bathroom break. I spoke to a Model Y owner who says he drives from the Bay Area to LA with one stop for charging, 9 minutes. Hardly a big deal. My own experience is similar, although my last trip there was before we had faster V3 charging stations available. I'd suggest learning more about EVs before hardening your opinions.
