> Most driving is done on long monotonous roads going straight. If you can eliminate that portion, you'd add huge value.

I don't think this is actually true at all. I mean, it's a nice little plus for long road trips I suppose, but how often do you do those?

If you can't automate the whole trip, there's little value. I can't go to the bar and have a few drinks and have my car drive me home. I can't avoid parking entirely by having my car park itself. I can't just stop owning a car because there is a circulating supply of autonomous ones.

Those are the real "huge" value adds. Not being able to take a nap on a road trip, and those things are still quite far off.
