The thing I don't get is... how are "self driving" cars better than public transport?
The two advantages I see is that you have a private space. And that they are point-to-point.
Those are important advantages. As, I suppose, is the fringe benefit of finding work for mathematicians.
But it seems to me you could do "self-driving" a lot cheaper and easier by improving the commons. Embedding sensors in the roads, street signs, and furniture - isn't that going to make more sense than turning ever vehicle into a super-computer?
Even after all that... buses and trams and light rail work absurdly well, at a fraction of the cost.
