I can't wait until I can just tap my Ub-yft app, and an autonomous vehicle is waiting for me outside my house at 6:30 in the morning, every morning.

I get in, and it takes me to work, and while I am on my way I don't have to worry about assholes not paying attention to the road, etc, because I am in the Auto-Vehicle lane, reserved for autonomous vehicles only.

I can sit back, read, and drink my coffee.

Then I get out of the car at work, and it gets dispatched to its next commuter, so I don't have to park it, either.

I'd pay HUNDREDS of dollars a month for that. (No car payments. No maintenance. No insurance. God, life would be so much better!)
