I'm entirely opposed to the idea. But I also recognize that I'm in a minority and will probably lose that fight.

- SoftTalker 2y agoI can imagine a future where fully autonomous cars are available everywhere and from multiple providers, so that competition drives the price down to close to cost. I would not mind not having to deal with insurance, maintenance, repairs, parking, fueling, charging, and everything else that comes with owning a car. I'm not opposed to that, but I also think it's nothing more than a fantasy. More likely that if we ever have cars that are safely autonomous, they will be kept scarce by a monopoly or oligopoly of companies who will have one-sided insight into the costs and demands and extract maximum prices from users. Similar to the games we're witnessing being played by large rental property owners.
- JohnFen 2y agoI'm in the same boat. I think that the fight for reasonable cars is long lost, and that's why I expect that I'll just be driving older used cars for the remainder of my life. But perhaps the day will come where some upstart company will begin producing cars that don't spy on you. You never know.
