  • There isn't a scenario for which self-driving cars are the answer. All it will result in is there being even more cars on the road, because now the one barrier to being able to drive one will be removed. It's an agenda being driven by those who stand to profit from them.

  • The alternative scenario is that when you have cars that can park themselves and come and find you we'll end up with something more like a glorified taxi fleet.

    I'd say the big barrier to more cars is cost, not being unable to drive (particularly in big cities).

  • "the answer"

    No.

    But there is a scenario where AVs are part of the answer. I realise humans are shit, but we are still capable of implementing multiple measures, at the same time, in conjunction with each other.

    AVs should be there to mitigate the risk of the driving journeys we can't eliminate.
