I'm really excited about this aspect of self-driving cars.
In the future, one day a father may need to schedule a doctor's appointment for his son. He will schedule it after his son's school, and a self-driving car will pick up his son in the pick-up loop (just like how he's dropped off in the morning). Dad will also schedule a self-driving car to meet his son at the doctor. He will receive notifications and photo/video of the pick-up of his son at the school. They will arrive at the doctor's office at the same time.
There's way more things that will change, but I think family planning and dynamics around travel will be one of them.
- toomuchtodo 12y agoWouldn't your intelligent agent (Google Now, for example) schedule the necessary legs of the trip with your preferred mobility provider, and keep both parties updated about location and arrival time? "Google, make an appointment with Tony's doctor for $datetime, and arrange transportation for both of us there."
