If a company made a car that could be driving itself generating revenue around the clock, they'd have to charge a pretty high price to justify selling it to you.

I know this sounds dystopian to some, but car ownership is a burden and I'm looking forward to a world where I can make an unoccupied car show up with my phone when I need it, and completely forget about it when I don't.

And supporting the factory workers and all the Tesla employees, Elon is not the only beneficiary.

I can't read this article, but I live in a market that Waymo is just beginning to develop (St. Louis). I have seen two Waymos in our area in the last week. I am really, really looking forward to having it available, but I think it is several years away.

It will be useful for me and my wife, but it would have been transformative for my kids in the pre-driving teen years. We do so much ferrying them around, and to be able to put them in a safe car and get them where they are going would have made such a difference for us. I think it might be here in time to make a difference with my younger child.

For that use case, trust and safety are really, really important to me. That plan only works for me because I suspect the Waymo driver will be safer than I am. I think for companies developing self-driving cars, the safety reputation matters a lot. Right now Waymo is the only one I would consider, because their roll out has been so methodical and competent.
