Well, maybe that works for urbanites :-) But it takes me ~20 minutes to get from my place to where there are more than a few scattered houses. And I live way too close to town - a consequence of needing high-speed internet for work. I have friends that live a lot further out.
And that's only the starting from home end. Many of my car trips take me to trailheads &c that are a long way from anywhere, and often don't have cell service. So I'm supposed to call (if I can), and wait an hour or two? And is the autonomous vehicle provider going to be willing to send its expensive asset down a rough dirt track?
