I'm thinking a Wework on wheels. We're not a bus company we're a tech company!

Yeah, this part is what got me:

Combining this unique dataset with real-time tracking of vehicle stability, speed and location, Cabin Drive instructs each driver how to safely drive for optimal ride quality based on route and road conditions."

> optimal way to drive

Isn't it basically just a straight interstate shot for the vast majority of the trip between SF and LA?

I think if you were focused on driving smoothly as to not wake sleeping passengers you could do a lot with software. It would be pretty easy to use an accelerometer to map road conditions and tell drivers that bumps are coming up and to slow down, or to switch lanes to avoid this pot hole, even while driving the same route.
