Not everyone lives in cities like you do. Even in cities, public transit does not always go where people want to go.

Which is more fuel efficient and cost effective, sending a bus and driver from some location to a person's door and taking them where they want to go and back, then on to the next client, or having a software-controlled vehicle that does not a) need to do the extra driving; and b) expect to be paid?
