It’ll enable people who cannot drive, such as children and the elderly, to drive.

Accordingly this is going to significantly increase the amount of cars on the road which will make traffic miserable.

We should make cars with extra seats that follow common routes. We could even give them their own lanes and infrastructure.

We could make them extra long, and add hyper efficient metal wheels on metal roadways.

If children cannot be out of sight of parents without someone calling CPS then these cars offer no benefit to them.

For a subset of the elderly or differently abled it will offer a less social alternative to taxis.
