Last night I let my Tesla drive me through Philadelphia during a severe thunderstorm. It navigated rain traffic and pedestrians with 0 corrections. At the end of the trip it was even able to find me a parking space. Literally all I had to do was press a button and say “Take me to (X destination)”
I can’t believe it absolutely incredible

Pro: people who suck at driving will let their car do it, and that will be better for everyone
con: people who can drive well will get lazy, stop driving for themselves, and the market will cater to the majority of people who just want to passively move from point A to B.

for me, it's Real Estate
i've been buying land well outside commute distance of major metros - in historical downtowns or places with a good view/riverfront.
actual FSD will allow 'commuting' within a 400mi radius.
>Hop in

>wake up in a new city
allowing you to live rural and work '3 day in office partially remote' for BigCityBigCorp now that full remote jerbs are increasingly scarce.
for many this will just mean suburban slop creeps even further out - but may allow for smaller towns separated by mountains, state/fed owned land, or long stretches to be revived

Once self driving tech becomes ultra reliable, it will be a huge win for 2-wheeled riders (motorcycles, bicycles).
After dumbass riders going too fast and dying, the biggest cause of 2-wheeled death is people not seeing riders and driving their SUV's into the bikes. Self driving may fix that.

99% of accidents caused by people not seeing riders is actually due to riders overtaking on the right at twice the speed limit while filtering and/or driving on the shoulder. The problem will not be solved by self driving cars.

>He thinks traffic patterns are consistent
Actually living a billion miles away from the city sucks and you can't play the cute game where you live in the country and work in the city because everyone else had that idea a week after you did. And now you've got city traffic, city prices, city immigrants, but country distances and liminal soullessness. It's shit.

>What kind of person even gives a single shit about self-driving cars?
Shills, bots, childless urbanites, and bagholders for companies proclaiming they're researching self-driving cars for the grant money. The CEO of said company, the board members, the politicians encouraging and funding the tech while attempting to restrict manually piloted vehicles, they don't care either way. Their speedboats, yachts, limos, helicopters, business jets, etc. are still human-operated, and their super important jobs of "talking to people" and "sitting at a meeting" means they can afford such frivolities. Meanwhile, (You) need to give up your 20yo Suburban that you drive your family around in,because it's sending racist storms to the migrant boats or somesuch faggotry.
