"...You don’t want to own a car anymore. You will call a car with your phone, it will show up at your location and drive you to your destination. You will not need to park it, you only pay for the driven distance and can be productive while driving..."

Oh, great. I can buy socks online while being driven.

I like the concept of having a self driving car. But I like the concept of being able to choose, because I like driving. And having a car that drives you, but belongs to someone else who runs what controls the car is repellent to me.

It smells of statism.

DriveApp has detected that you, John Doe, Citizen #OU812 is restricted to a 10 mile travel radius. The destination you have chosen is 22 miles away which is outside of your restricted travel area. Would you like to re-route to a destination within your assigned travel area?

Your comment made me realize something. I hate driverless. I get carsick in about two minutes if I try to read while riding in a car.
