Around the time that self-driving cars were said to be imminent, my kids were in preschool, and I realized that school pickup would be damned hard to implement as an automated thing. Cars have to line up and advance to the pickup spot using space that’s normally parking lanes. It’s definitely a 90th percentile challenge if not higher, but the sort of thing that literally happens daily in urban/suburban environments.
