The tiered point is the one I want to make. I think there will be 2 seaters for most of the middle class and very nice two seaters for higher levels of society. But the current technical changes don't address social issues like stratification - and so some lesser option will exist. Even if it's for no other reason than to make the two seater seem better, some kind of mass people mover will be the affordable option. It feels like that aspect of purchasing status is deeply sowed in our system and won't be solved by automation.
