I think self-driving technology is really cool, and I hope it reaches high-reliability as soon as possible.

But I would rather it is distributed in personally-owned cars than in fleet models. Would be a shame if the only access is through effectively "renting" rides from big corporations. Rooting for Comma and Tesla to get there and put it in vehicles which individuals own. Don't want some corporation to control mobility--their use policy could be restrictive to individual freedoms.

If you're going to buy and maintain your own car, why not just drive it yourself? A monopoly on self driving technology sounds scary, but I don't see it being actually harmful to anyone given how many ways there are to get around in cities
Comma isn't interested in anything beyond SAE Level 2, as a few engineers have spoken to their team.
