> if you can be doing work while your car is driving itself then your effective commute is zero

That’s a big if. I’ve commuted in an Uber pool many times and hardly ever see any of the other passengers working. Most of them seem to be going to/from the office like me.

Working on a rail commute seems more common. The smoother ride lends itself better to laptop work.

Another big if here is that your company considers that time to be on the clock. A commute that takes away family time without it counting towards your working time is still a commute. Getting more work done =/= not having a commute.
