I used to think self driving cars were a bad idea, now I am all for them. I have always been a car lover, and really like driving. Still the ability for the computer to take over and create bumper to bumper drafting road trains is wonderful. Why invest in a big rail system when we could do it with the highways we have now. Everybody gets to keep their individual car, that can go with your schedule on your route, but otherwise act just like a train. Move steady down the highway, saving a bunch of gas, with no attention needed at all times from the driver.
How cool would it be to get off work and leave for a 8 hour trip at 10pm and wake up in a weekend getaway only having spent $30 on gas, no hotel or rent a car needed, refreshed and ready to enjoy your Saturday?
I can see the buses, trains, airlines, oil companies, taxis, hotels, car rental places, body shops, pay to park places, and traffic enforcement businesses would be against it.
