  > FSD is not by itself going to compel people to drive more than they need to. What people "need" (or "want") changes: if you live in the city and want to partake in Nature, it may be a hassle to get out of the city. But if you can 'just' hop in a FSD car and have it drive overnight (while you sleep) to a nature reserve/park, people may do that. Whereas previously they may not desired it enough to deal with traffic in getting there. Imagine FSD recreational vehicles (RVs, UK: campers), or those live-in vans that are somewhat popular nowadays: go to sleep in one place, wake up in another.

  We already do drive more than we need to because of how society is designed in America, but if the costs were lower as promised and you basically had an always-on-demand car with no driver, you could work or something while in the car, and take a nap wouldn't people take a lot more road trips or trips otherwise? I don't see how this wouldn't increase usage. That being said, increase in usage doesn't necessarily correlate to increased traffic.
