Not everyone wants to own a car either, and everyone owning a car is not exactly environmentally sustainable. Replacing Uber & Lyft with robots would add a ton of value and be practical for a very large percentage of the population.
> And I personally don't think the industry is mature enough to accept the realities and limitations of the technology we work with to just say, "Hey, actually, we can let attentive drivers basically be hands-free for 80+% of their drives."
Uh isn't this what Tesla, GM, Mobileye, Comma, and many others are doing? Basically every player in "the industry" wants this & is working on it -- FWIW I think L2 is fine, but there need to be more safety features because the number of folks who've slept while their flawed L2 system drove them is truly alarming. I'm less worried about their safety and more worried about the folks they might crash into.
- bombcar 4y agoEven a "selfish driving car" would be a major step up - I'd think about not owning a car if I could order one on an app and have it at my doorstep in 15 minutes; even if after I get into it I take over and drive it. Self-delivering rental cars, if you will.

- kajecounterhack 4y agoYou speak for yourself. Uber and Lyft demand in large cities tell another story. I'm also mystified: do you really think personal car ownership for every person is at all sustainable?
