Precisely, but if you design the vehicle so it accomplishes the same as an individual effort without any specific driver input, then you have changed the way fuel is consumed on a planetary scale.
Which is more effective, one hypermiler driving a car to maximise it's efficiency or a billion vehicles all over the Earth driving themselves in a way that optimizes the efficiency of every drop of fuel they consume.
Hopefully food for thought, not meant as any point of contention.
