So when can you get in the first self-driving car? GM says 2019. Mobileye says 2021. Waymo says 2018 – yes, this year

Allow me to explain:

A-to-B plus C-to-D is less than A-to-B plus B-to-C plus C-to-D.

B-to-C is the Taxi or Uber or Autonomous vehicle relocating to pick up the next passenger.

The counterargument is typically some hand-wavy future something or other to provide the doubling of energy and road spatial efficiency required just to get us back to naught.

Amazingly, this is a new thought for many.
