@breadandcircuses I wonder if self-driving cars might *be* the public transit of the future in settings where a train doesn't make sense. No privately owned vehicles at all. Just millions of electric cars on call that can take you safely to your destination alone or in a group. Self-driving Uber.

@farbel @breadandcircuses So, no personal auto ownership…just take you where you want to go when you need to. They don’t sit in your driveway doing nothing, or in a work parking lot. But somehow they’re all maintained to safe standards,the size you need to carry whatever when you need it. No big SUVs with one rider. You just pay by time, distance and size/payload,comfort level. corporations could tie in with creative scheduling software. Like Zipcar on a mega scale

@bouriquet @breadandcircuses Basically, yes, that's the idea.
