What the author does not understand is that the vector for self driving cars will be Zipcar, Getaround, goget and other 'car sharing' companies. Cab companies might get in on it but they will struggle to deal with their large existing workforce. There was another article on here the other day in which Elon Musk said that the last 10% was very difficult but it's easy to see how a car sharing company could offer a self driving service by avoiding that last 10%. They could do this because: * The car might not have to go very far from it's pod to your location * They don't necessarily have to go in driveways and other hard to reach places. "closer than public transport would get you" is good enough. * The service can be restricted to urban areas with good map coverage As other people have noted the opinions and even the technology of the major car companies is irrelevant.
