Re: It will create a new market

Who gets to use it at weekends / Christmas / take on holidays etc? This might be OK for the work commute (though not if their shifts are consecutive) but I can’t really see this working in practice. Also, none of this cuts down on actual vehicle mileage (energy usage / lifetime of vehicle) so I don’t really see how sharing with others at work makes a great deal of sense. The real fix is to address the reason everyone has to work the same hours in the same places, where nobody can afford to live. I suspect this will be sorted long before self driving cars are allowed en mass on city streets.
