Spotify's central office in Stockholm has ~1000 employees.

So, at 6pm a thousand people call up the efficient fast driverless cars to go home....

And that's just one office out of a dozen on that street.

Those 1000 people don't have to be served by 1000 privately owned single occupancy vehicles. When they are inputting their destination before departure, a robo taxi can deliver 6-8 people with similar destinations door-to-door for a fraction of the cost of a private vehicle, the same comfort level, but occupy hardly more road space then 70-80 seat transit buses.

That's just public transport with a different name (and less efficiency). People want to ride alone.

No ride share is the same comfort level as private vehicle and it never will be.

[dmitriid]

So, those 1000 people have to:

- somehow find other people "with similar destinations"

- somehow synchronise the time they leave work

- figure out who calls and pays for the robo-taxi

How is that effecient?

And, once again, that's just one office on a street of a dozen or so office buildings. Across is a building that houses 10 or so different companies. So I guess those people should also somehow group themselves across companies?
