That's a high ball estimate because the average speed was likely to be far greater than 10 mph. There are 8760 hours in the year. This means that average car is in use only 23% of the time. This suggests that up to 3 of every 4 private cars is redundant, if driverless cars could be shared among different users.Now, now, that's a sneaky argument. You know that there is much less demand for cars, just as for subways, at some times of the week than at others. Also, your argument, properly modified, is an argument for shared cars, not for driverless cars. Most people can drive, so why not have them drive while they are traveling? Your second to last sentence is a much stronger argument. |
