Why do all these tech people think self driving cars make sense for urban transportation? I've seen the same thing from Elon Musk, who has the positively brain-dead idea of digging new subway tunnels and then filling them full of cars. They could use established technology that serves an urban population brilliantly, like a subway, but instead they propose even more cars as a solution to traffic problems. It makes no sense.
Self-driving cars have turned into just another buzzword, which is a damn shame.
