Depends on what you do for work. My wife is all over the place with clients, she will always need a vehicle

well the theory of how self driving cars would eventually become is if you have an app that can order a self driving vehicle, the closest one to you will be there for you. you can set the time you need it ready by and it will be there. we kinda already do that now with transportation apps, but with self driving cars i think it would be more efficient. idk. i guess owning, driving, and parking your own car will probably always be a little faster because its in the parking lot of your store or of your house right where you left it, but it wouldn't be that much faster.

I get what you’re saying for sure. I work from Home and don’t really need a car especially if auto drive cars are that prevalent. I guess where I’m also at is I want to own something and not just maybe payments to a corporation for rides

i think people should still be allowed to own their own cars, but getting rid of the need to own cars with cheap self driving transportation as an option sounds good to me. more options is always better. not everyone can afford to own their own car either. and if it also reduces deaths because self driving cars are better at driving it will also be a public service.

I’ll take this option for sure
