Automated cars will know to follow the fucking map as well
Like I drive for Lyft and this will totally be on the nav-side of things rather than the driver, or autonomous car. I've had so many rides that tell me that the pickup is at an alley way behind an apartment complex, or behind a huge plaza. As the driver, we don't get the same gps information of the passenger, as they do us. They can see our movements relatively close to real time.
Like, credit is still easy flowing. It isn't a doom scenario just yet. I feel like a lot of the media tends to hype these studies way too much.
It is very much possible to live in LA without a car, especially because of services like this. And I say this as an auto enthusiast.
I'll drive and ride motorcycles as long as legally possible.
Also, infrastructure. I love how Silicon Valley presents autonomous cars as like pristine Utopia. Like, so many roads need upgrading, like now.
