Autonomous Vehicles = Madness?
Suppose autonomous vehicles are commercially successful. People are free to be more productive while they are stuck in traffic. They can watch movies, refine business proposals for more machines. etc. etc.
How big would a traffic jam have to get before passengers realized that they hate sitting in their robot cars and would rather walk to a theater with their traffic mates?
I just realized that we don't have a word for traffic mates. Maybe we need one, because that is where we are headed.
