In ten years, most new cars will be self-driving, because lower insurance costs will pay for the self-driving feature.
Speeds won't be super-fast because the current road system doesn't support high speeds and also because high speeds are inefficient, even with drafting.
Yes, I expect car ownership to plummet. When you can call a private ride in minutes, why own a car?
Lower insurance cost is one benefit. Cutting the number of fatalities and the financial cost of traffic accidents is the biggest. 33,000 people died last year in car wrecks. And the cost of traffic accidents in the US is an estimated $871billion.
