This is not necessarily good news. Among other thing this means the capacity for pollution also rises, although hopefully not by the same factor - maybe automated cars can be more energy efficient than human drivers.
- dwiel 14y agoThere is a large amount of pollution cause by the manufacturing of cars, which can have a net benefit. Another benefit is that you could use very efficient cars for the trips that they are suited for like going shopping for groceries by yourself, and inefficient ones like picking up a new refrigerator. That said I'm also worried that it could increase the time spent in cars since there won't be as much negative feedback from stressful/boring/unproductive driving.
