What is interesting is the reasoning...parents would not want their kids to have to drive. Given the risk of accidents for young people with piss-poor assessment of physical risk it makes sense that parents would much prefer to have a taas or autonomous vehicle that will ensure that their kids will get to and fro as safely as possible. |
The small child of a wealthy beyond dreams of avarice venture capitalist probably will never need to drive. I'm not totally convinced driverless technology will be so mainstream that its applicable in all new vehicles sold in 15-20 years to the point that you don't need to know how to drive.
That tech will be in 6 figure teslas well before its in 16k econoboxes.
