Heck, Uber sold their interest in autonomous driving and that was their only hope of profitability.
I disagree. For 200 years personal freedom of travel and movement has been a major part of being American. That is not changing in the next 50 years, if anything near term a restructuring of work at home will increase it not decrease it. People are going to exit the cities now faster than they fill them. People are going to spread out more.

I also think the autonomous driving isn't worth investing in especially by a small company. Let others figure it out and then it will be easy to adapt and add if there is a demand.
