Good news!
"Aurora Innovation, a self-driving truck company, has expanded its network to 10 routes, including a 1,000-mile circuit between Fort Worth, Texas, and Phoenix, Arizona. On such long routes, the company says its trucks can cut transit times in half by avoiding regulations that limit the number of hours a human trucker can drive continuously."
The 20th century was dominated by the desire and advantage for households/individuals to own their vehicle for personal transportation (at least in rich countries).
E.g. the ability/feasibility of remote work or work from home plus home delivery of almost anything make owning a car kind of obsolete or anachronistic or even expensive.
Then there is the world population of over 8 billion! Just imagine car ownership in low income countries were as high as in high income countries.
However, with autonomous vehicles this necessity or advantage may come to an end. Perhaps sharing such vehicles will become more widespread. Or personal transportation as a service.
Please no government mandates or quotas to force the transition! Laissez faire, laissez passer!
