Wielding Rocks and Knives, Arizonans Attack Self-Driving Cars

I picture the future of self-driving cars will free up the human to do other things. If I have a desk set up in the car and am working/relaxing then I won't be too concerned if my 1-hour trip takes 1 hour and 10 minutes.

The big advantage will be longer trips. I live in Australia and we have huge distances to cover when driving between cities. If I can "work from car" for 8 hours while driving interstate and my employer pays me then the trip is essentially free for time.

Are you alluding to public transport? That's a very different beast from what I've described. What I described is transport that:

Departs from your house on your own schedule with no unwanted stops.

Can have a full desktop setup within it. This isn't a car, it's a personal transportation device
