- xnx 3y agoAbsolutely correct. Mobile phone service isn't free either, but it's so much better than land lines that most people have given up their land line. I expect a similar adoption pattern for self-driving car service.
- polalavik 3y agoI don’t think that’s a valid comparison. Landlines and mobile solve two different problems and were probably about the same price. If a subscription to a car costs you as much as owning a car over a long period of time, why subscribe ?
- xnx 3y agoYou're right, it ultimately comes down to cost and benefits. The ultra-rich have drivers because they don't want to bother with any of the details of car ownership or waste time driving, self-driving cars might bring that level of valet-like service to anyone for the same price as owning an economy car.
