,,...Fields said, adding that ride-sharing would make more efficient use of vehicles, with less time wasted for people and less pollution.''

If he would really care about pollution he would make sure that these shared cars are electric.

I think you'd do the self-driving market a disservice by bundling it with expensive range-limiting technology. If both are positive changes in their own right, then they're better off keeping them available separate for maximum adoption.

That's even more so the case with self-driving cars, since their ideal use cases (highways) are the least ideal use case for vehicles with short ranges.
