And while they might increase speed, safety, and traffic flow if they work out, I'd be astonished if self driving cars made the trip That much more pleasant. Consider the current experience of being a passenger in a car. All self driving vehicles do on That front is mean the driver's experience is equal to that of the passengers... Which, really, is awful for anything other than talking while staring out the window, or maybe sleeping, unless it's crawling along on congested urban roads, and even then only if the roads are well maintained and it's a spacious (and this inefficient) car.
