In the next step, somebody will notice that many people drive to the same destination (like a large shopping mall or an airport) and try to offer to take them in the same self-driving car for a discount. Over time those vehicles might grow to seat as may as 30-100 people and stop at multiple destinations

Incredible startup idea. While we wait for the self driving tech, maybe we could pay specially trained people to drive these vehicles?

		Labour is over 50% of the cost for the MTA, we could run more routes and shorter headways with autonomy Who am I kidding, the NYC unions would rather burn down waymos than accept autonomy

I get your joke. But I like paying more to ride by myself.

It’s the driving I don’t like.
