You're arguing that in order to solve world hunger, we should have fewer people that need feeding, instead of automating farming for higher output.

It's not an either/or argument. It's an 'and' argument of autonomous cars are great, AND many believe do not solve the problems that many proponents of autonomous cars think they will.
In regards to world hunger - many of this planet's woes, would be helped by advancements in science, agriculture AND not endlessly having children.
That to me is the crux of the issue. Self-driving cars are a poor solution to an entirely self-inflicted problem. The only viable long term solution is to reduce commuting.
