I guess, but if I'm getting a taxi, replacing a human with a computer is not a huge benefit to me, as I'm already not driving. If I'm driving myself to work every day, replacing that repetitive and boring task with a computer is a huge user benefit and thus I'd be more willing to pay and at a higher price for the tech.

I just think that's the only real way to make this thing pay off. Also potentially it might work for long haul trucking.

the benefit to the user isn't the computer, it's lower cost. the bushes model makes sense because you can lower user cost while increasing profit
The benefit absolutely is the safer computer driver. I'd pay more for that.
