What if we had one BIG self driving car that dozens of people could comfortablely sit inside while traveling on a shared route?
We could have multiple vehicles traveling that same route so you're almost always assured a ride without waiting long. And as were saving a lot of money with predictable road wear, less pollution and less accidents, we could probably make the rides very affordable, if not free. Last thought, kind of out there , but we could even have one person sit at the front of the bus and look out a window - If they saw a child, animal or some other potential issue on the road ahead, they could see it well ahead of time and hit some sort of hand or foot button that slows the vehicle to a stop temporarily so there aren't any software related accidents from the self driving vehicle that result in injury or loss of life.
It will be like an uber... But for all of US. We'll call it UBUS!
That's actually...kinda genius. It's not just fresh thinking: it's a scalable and green solution to a real problem. I think you could really make a difference with this idea. Would you like to work out some ways we can make life worse for the working class while we implement it?
