Picture a taxis in the foreseeable future. Most of its manual controls conveniently and neatly hidden or outrightly taken out. The seats would be able to swirl around and facing each other. The vehicle would be fully automatic and self driven(the tech for self driving cars would likely have been perfected then) and it would be for the most part, safe.
If and perhaps, when these self driving cars fully become a thing and gets fused in and used in the transportation system. It might just go a long way, having some effect on transportation and in general, vehicular moment.
If this catches on, as it very well might, it could lead to less cars in the road as people might find it more convenient than to own and maintain a car when you could call for a taxi and have a self driving car pull-up to your door.
You wouldn’t have to put up with irrelevant and sometimes, unwanted chit chat with a driver. Just input your destination, sit back and enjoy the ride alone or together with some friends or whoever.
I would love to know your thoughts on this.
