Driving for rideshare and coasting, I've gotten complaints from riders that I was high or drive too slow to get more money. No honey, I could try but it won't make a difference at $0.1/min for your 8min ride.

I believe fully autonomous driving (as well as full EVs) still has ways to go (10+ years) before it becomes mainstream nationwide but once they do, will they integrate traffic light information with each vehicle or at least vehicles in each block between traffic lights to maximize coasting?

If they do, will people complain? If they don't, aren't they wasting literal metric billions, trillions of joules of energy? Do the autonomous vehicle engineers even care about these at this point or are they too busy trying not to hit another pedestrian?
