As a commuter who started out on train and had to shift to car, I would pay a great deal more for a car that would let me do things other than driving.
I don't know enough about the state of this technology to forecast, but I think there are a lot of people like me. And I even like driving. I just don't feel the need to do that much of it in annoying conditions.
Just remember that there will be a gap between the first car that can pretty reliably get you from point A to point B without you touching the wheel, and the time when you can legally read, sleep, or be completely wasted in the drivers seat.
Why would I BE in the driver's seat? Only if the law forced me. If the car itself is recognized as the driver (and it must be to pull off the driving alone feat), then why would it?
If you look through the quotes in my compilation, it looks like the most likely legal/economic avenue in the near-future is going to be the subterfuge of treating the car AI as an assisting tool and the human is considered to be 'actually' driving.
Nuts.
I mean this in both figurative senses.
? You mean you disagree with my assessment of what the various legal/economic experts think? Or with their views? Or with the fact that society exists in such a way that their views are correct that that is the likely outcome?
That society is arranged that their views are correct.
I'm guessing less than for a taxi.
Yes, but that isn't saying much. I would spend roughly $100/day for a taxi commute.
