Excellent point.

We're already seeing a market response to drivers recognising the
opportunity cost of having to control their vehicle.  Cars now have
random bits of gear in the dash to help them keep productive while
they drive.  At some point, it will make sense to give up the driving
altogether.

Cheers, Ben
