Of course that would be a much more economical use of scarce resources and free up a lot of road space. Downside would be a dramatic reduction in the automotive business and revenue for El Gov.

Well, if that became a cheaper option, I could see many people opting for it.

You'd actually be able to go out for a few drinks at the pub without having to nominate someone to forgo alcohol! It would certainly alleviate parking problems alomg residential roads.

If driverless cars actually had a much better safety record, I think people will come to accept them.
