I like knowing where I parked. Further, we have something called valley parking, in most places that I would want to get off for a while.

You wouldn't need to know where you parked: a quick text message retrieves your car.

I will get to the airport after all. The only difference, I can have one or two to relax at home with wife, before the flight. The end result for the self-driving car is identical to the cab case, you can still have your drinks because you will not be driving the car. However, removing the cabbie from the equation will cut costs dramatically.

Again -- where all those cars will be parked, knowing before I would either take a cab, or take a public transportation?

Will we get millions of parkings underground built the same time AC hit the streets? Dont think so.

Further, you saying that removing cabbie will cut the cost. Hmm.. my take is that it is the city that makes the most money out of cabbies. I can bet my left arm (Im lefty) that if the city will realize they losing large chunk of money due to AC driving everywhere, I am sure they will smack you with such an AC ride tax that taxis will become again a reasonable alternative!

Will you allow your car to decide what a fair price for parking is?
