Think harder... how to bring self driving cars to the world...
Currently, bus/overground/tubes/whatever have only few lines and they can cover a lot of users.
Tomorrow, self driving cars could cover only the few main roads of a city. That would be enough to be useful for 80% of people in the city. That ignores the hard 90% roads which are harder to do.
We'd still have to walk down the block to reach the uber and that's annoying, but that's a huge progress over the current public transportation systems (whom coverage vary hugely by city and country, to the point there might not be any).
