Re: Even in the extremely unlikely event that fully autonomous vehicles ever become viable
"Some sort of cross between taxi and car share seems viable."
What do you want out of a car? A reasonably clean vehicle available when you want it? With your own car the degree of cleanliness is what you decide is what's worth putting in the effort and availability is assured by not competing with someone else for the vehicle. Can you guarantee either with the taxi/car share model, especially if you want the car to go to work in at the same time as most other people?
