It's Singapore. Cars are costly, difficult to get and starting Feb. no net new car will be added to the country. Though public infrastructure is excellent and taxi is an option, so self driving anyway have a limited appeal.

It costs around $50k (Singaporean) to buy the right to own a car for 10 years.

Not in a country where a Toyota Corolla costs upwards of $100,000.

The nicer car2go vehicles are $0.45/min in Seattle ($0.35 for the smartcars that they are deprecating). I'm not sure how the traffic in Singapore compares, though.
In my experience, car2go is usually 2/3 the price of an Uber/Lyft

is it a flat fee ? could make a lower cost for long rides (doubling as incentive)

#8Singapore seems like the most likely place where self driving cars will take off first. Easy to imagine them banning human drivers altogether, making it much easier for autonomous cars to coordinate between eachother.

#9We had it in Paris and it is not a success. Cars are too slow and small for real highway use, they are expensive and especially dirty. Hopefully they will improvement on all these points

#10I haven't kept up with Autolib (first large city-wide car-sharing program) - it's been over 5 years now, but it's hard to find progress reports.
Can anyone who lives in Paris give us an insight into how things are going?
