    They also offer the chance to push it above one. Ride-sharing will be a lot more attractive with autonomous cars.

      Why?

      I see the more realistic probability of the car picking up and then dropping off a passenger, and then picking up another. I don’t think customers would be happy if the car they were riding made their trip longer in order to force them to share the car.

        You just need price incentive, make it cheaper if it is shared, it’s economically sound.

        There will be taxis that work pretty much like they do today. But there will also be mini buses that carry secret passengers and are cheaper. It’s not an either/or situation.
