I guess I can understand if you live in a place without public transit, but if this is the case, it's also remote enough so that "self driving cars" may not get there for some time. Waymo is using mapping tech and is not going out of a city any time soon.

And if your self driving vehicle is restricted to a single city or area, it becomes a matter of that city asking everyone to buy or use a self driving car because they can't finance an adequate and efficient public transit system.

It's just a gadget.

EDIT: I don't have car and already don't drive anywhere. Just like millions of other people in the world. But apparently, if you don't want to drive, you need a car that drives for you. There is simply no other solution.
