I think another draw would be its safety which at least as planned is supposed to be greater and consistent while with human driver you never know what you’re getting

For non-us markets it’s also integrity. No more shenanigans like calling rider and asking to cancel the ride bc the driver didn’t like it

There should also be a huge tipping point in safety and efficiency when all (or almost all) cars go fully autonomous.

With cars all communicating p2p in a local mesh to avoid collisions and improve throughput, apart from reducing accidents even further, you could safely turn all highways into autobahns with much higher speed limits.

Even if it’s a long way off, I welcome any progress in this direction.

We’re all very used to it, so it seems normal, but the status quo of high stress traffic and casually risking death and disfigurement on a daily basis is completely insane.

Well good news is Kyle was super adamant about substantially reducing car accidents as one of the stated goals when I worked there. In contrast to some other well known ceos who seem to ngaf one way or another…
