I don't see this being disruptive at all. I think they will be adopted in industrial applications, such as self driving dump trucks on mine sites, where humans are not riding in the vehicle, and where there will be significant cost savings.

There is also the human factor. People aren't going to give up their livelihood quietly, and people won't be willing to trust their life to a computer.

Also, who's going to control these vehicles, government? Does that mean that the government has the power to redirect a car to anywhere they please, depending on the passenger, who has been identified by facial recognition?

Trains/trams/buses are proven, already exist, and are a much better solution for public transport.

Does the driver have to be awake? Sleeping and driving can become the new texting and driving.
