May I ask what metric you are used, using now, to base the demand for self driving share/s? Even with current narrow AI efficiency the increase in heat/crime decreases economic resource usage by the mean, and an already receding desire by the stable income home worker for use.
Phoenix as a perfect example to future lack of demand. Laptop from house bipeds are the last to venture out for what can be delivered. Gen population retail, sans car takes public transportation.
Availability of needed tech to facilitate use market is present sure, and will undoubtedly increase in viablility. There just will not be any passengers.
Perhaps the technology could be implemented for the new 'minor injury' class Ambulance?
Technically your bet is null, and could be parlayed double or nothing.
"things animated by vitalic spirit, elan vital, can self-heal and self-reproduce"
Why aren't you talking with Dr. Michael Levin and Dr. Gary Nolan to assist in the 3D mobility platform builds facilitating AGI biped interaction? Both of them would most assuredly be open to your consult forward.
Good to see your still writing.
