> I would love to see autonomous electric vehicles become our future. I really don't care for public transportation, I find it uncomfortable in many ways

I imagine (edit: many) people who use public transportation would agree with you. You now, since they're usually using it out of necessity and not enjoyment.

For lots of people maybe but no way all. A lot of public transport is faster than driving and it avoids having to park.

Is that true for anything less than a subway/metro train? Light rail is slow, buses even worse, there are many benefits to public transit but speed is rarely one of them. And in the rare cases when it is faster, it's in a handful of extremely dense cities that only represent a fraction of the population, and only for specific use cases.
