    Yup, back when I had to go to an office I was paying $21 a day to park. 5 days a week.

    With an autonomous car I could have it drop me off, drive back home, then pick me up based on my cell phone location on demand.

    Yeah, I’d double my gas usage during the week, but I guarantee it would be less than $105.

      It wouldn’t have to go all the way home, just some safe free spot.

      If you have family/friends it could be helping them out all day.

      Or a robotaxi might suit better.

          Think of how well people treat public transport they all depend on…now that place is your car and people are alone and unsupervised. You’re going to spend a large amount of time and money keeping the car from being a trashed mess.

      More likely power bill I’d think - I haven’t heard of anyone working on an autonomous gas powered car or even hybrid. Also a few states won’t even be allowing sales of gas cars in 11 years
