Call a driverless car on your phone, it picks you up and takes you to your destination and then moves on to the next pick-up. Going home? Order another one.
I don't really see the downside to this. It sounds preferable to car ownership; and if chunks of the population are freed up from doing tasks like driving, can't we focus efforts on more forward-looking activities?
