One of the current weaknesses in public transit is that it requires a minimum population density before it becomes viable. The entire way we think about public transit today presumes that it makes sense to send a vehicle with many seats along a fixed route.

Self driving vehicles could be the innovation that makes public transit usable in non-dense areas. We could do dynamic routing based on the demand of the riders.
