robo-cars

And with the great efficiencies brought about by robo-cars, they would be even cheaper to manufacture and sell.

You can bet these robo-cars will be getting robo-tire-rotations and any other effeciencies they can squeeze out.

Take away that exorbitant cost and robo-cars would actually be much cheaper than even a small apartment.

In the US, a car accident in an environment where accidents are less common (presumably the case with robo-cars) will stand out more.

If Uber can operate 100,000 robo-cars in San Fran you can walk up to the sidewalk and press Hail and presto you have your ride.

They can dynamically balance load between nearby cities on a day-by-day even hourly basis dispatching streams of robo-cars from their garages when the surges hit.

What would the troublemakers do if the roads were 95%+ robo-cars that will drive such as to never hit them, no matter what they do?

There's an easy solution to this - electric robo-cars.

That's one of the trickier aspects of robo-cars that we'll have to figure out how to deal with when they start making up a significant amount of traffic.

Every road that Google’s robo-cars drive on was first surveyed by a human-driven pilot car outfitted with sensors accurate enough to measure the thickness of the painted lines in the middle of the road.

I think the best car is not having a car at all (at least until the robo-cars arrive) -- but to me that means public transit + bicycle is literally so good that I can get where I am going faster than I could with a car.
