“This is technologically possible, but as likely to happen as the flying cars we were once promised. The reality is that there will never be enough of these taxis available at times of peak demand to avoid long, frustrating waits.”
Sure it can. Every household now has 2-5 cars in their driveway. In the future from what I have read the plan is the auto manufacturers will own them and supply the service.
This will not happen overnight but a period of years
Ahhh, you read the plan.
GM (aka Government Motors) wants to decide where you go and when, and you are fine with that?
Suppose your car arrives, and you instruct it to take you to the gun range, a political event, or a religious service. The car decides you shouldn’t go there, drives away, and reports you to the mother ship. What do you do then?
Besides, it is simply not economically feasible to have enough on-demand vehicles available to satisfy your needs, and the needs of everyone else in the area at the same time.
How long would you willing to wait for your ride?
