Hi Alan,
I'm still unclear as to what problem it would solve. <<
You should read Elon Musk's view of the world problems. Start reading here: https://waitbutwhy.com/2015/05/elon-musk-the-worlds-raddest-man.html
The interesting part (for this thread at least) is about the climatic and energy problems. We need less privately owned cars, because all cars are used only 10% of the day. The other 90% they just occupy space. That's where autonmous driving kicks in: You just call a car and it will drive to your location. After you're done, it just waits for the next caller. And guess wwhat: The Tesla Model3 is already completely adopted to that idea. It's completely electronically controlled (that's why you don't find any regular switches, knobs or whatever, besides of the some elementary things like blinker, light, direction). The idea is that your car earns his money at times where you don't need it, by renting it to other passengers. We could reduce pollution, energy-consumption and city-crowding with that concept. Just imagine a car which parks itself, connects to a charger by itself and drives to your location to pick you up. All done with AI and autonmous driving.
