Dude, i travel very heavily for business. If I had a self driving rental car, it would be fantastic. Especially in shitty traffic, where the car would decide via a waze app etc, alternative routes. Would leave me to work, be on the phone, do whatever. Much less stressful than navigating in strange cities. Even better, what if the rental car dropped you off at the airport curb and returned itself?
Wall-E says hi.
For one, the way we currently travel is not even close to how we should.
There shouldn't be so many individual cars in cities. That's 100% a product of the the oil/auto industry.
We used to have great group transportation infrastructure in cities over 100 years ago, and that would have been improved upon -- instead it was ripped up by the oil/auto industries (they were fined mildly for this).
The individual automated car thing is a complete joke and more of the same from the for-profit, not for common-sense narrative that we've built the world on.

Trump could bring it back.

There is a lot of info about how a fleet of autonomous cars such as an auto uber could cut down on parking spaces in cities, make transportation more efficient, and basically come down to calling a car when you need it. Probably on some form of subscription model. If you travel in cities like London or New York, or Mexico City etc, where parking is a nightmare and traffic can be as well, this would be great.
I travel in London and never rent a car. its all public transport or uber. I dont even use London taxis anymore and they are the best in the world.
