What if you could have 2x or Nx the services for the same public expenditure if you didn't have to pay drivers? How important is PT really? Should we cut pensions or cancer care to enable more PT? How hard-core are you about this? What I am getting at is that the economics of "good things" still matters and entails tradeoffs and value judgements. What is your weighting of the value of PT as a jobs program vs a way to help people get around? Do we have the perfect amount of PT now, or should we have more, or less? Personally I think "safety issues" will prove to be the sticking point with autonomy of PT but maybe it scales. I am pro automation but skeptical about social issues.
