I can find “thought leadership” pieces from people with that mindset. But at the end of the day they’re tilting at windmills and nobody who’s spending money on product development is listening to them. Same for the people who are advocating 70% of population not own cars by 2050. Loud voices…empty pockets…zero traction.
Are you sure? Everyone is spending huge software development dollars on the self driving backbone. It's right in front of us. The newer the car, the more it can do without your input/involvement. Cameras, radar, lidar, V2V communication, etc. Zero, zero, zero. Zero crashes, zero congestion. It's GM's stated goal. You have to take the human element out to do that.
