If you've ever seen bus drivers in NYC, it's genuinely impressive how they manage to weave a giant box through the chaos. I'm not sure that self-driving tech will be able to replace them anytime soon.

This would be interesting for my native Kansas City though. There's a severe shortage of buses and it's much simpler driving conditions. Could be a game changer.

If you remove the cost of the driver, smaller buses become more viable.

Cost of driver replaced with cost of what ? how do you sustain that cost and dose it cost more than the driver ? One liner sounds cool but please back it up with something.

		> how do you sustain that cost What does that mean? > dose it cost more than the driver ? No. That's the whole reason the field of self-driving exists. It will become cheaper than the driver. > One liner sounds cool but please back it up with something I don't feel like looking for links right now. You can disagree with my opinion and move on.
