Self driving cars are such a cool concept.

I personally think it was cause a revolution in mobility and cities in general. Far bigger than what most see.
Long term I see car ownership dropping massively and self driving cars working somewhere between taxis and buses linking with rail. With the option of paying more for a personal vehicle or van when required.
The land usage taken up by personal vehicles is horrific and, while not perfect, self driving cars seem the most reasonable step to a big drop in emission and increase in density and public parks and such.
I'm just looking forward to watching movies on my phone during a long commute.
The waymo vehicles are so cautious they create safety issues.
Don't worry, you really wouldn't be able to afford one, and owning one pretty much defeats their purpose.

"Last week, Waymo announced that its robotaxis have eclipsed more than 100,000 weekly paid rides, with San Francisco recording the “greatest increase in trips this summer” and the most out of Waymo’s three markets."
Things have been moving so slow in this industry. But I'm getting more and more hopeful that huge growth is on the horizon.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
