>They already have cars driving people 95% of their miles

I'm skeptical. I'd be surprised if more than 40% of my miles were freeway.

Call me when we have fully autonomous trains and then I'll start thinking about losing my skepticism about autonomous cars.

I didn't mean this was the average but I probably should have said commutes. My commute is nearly all highway and I basically don't touch the car from on-ramp to exit-ramp.
