[LINK] It's called Driver Assist, not Autopilot

[Marghanita da Cruz]

What is the point of having your own driverless car?

I have also puzzled why Uber is interested - given their model is based 
on utilising their drivers cars.

On the other hand, self driving cars make sense for taxi companies and 
Car Share companies such as GoGet and Car next Door.
