I only need a car when I want to go somewhere... since it's self-driving, once it gets me there, it can run other errands -- presumably moving other people around -- until I need to go somewhere else. A subscription for self-driving cars might mean I subscribe to the service, use it when I need it and might not always be using the same car.</div><div><br></div><div>Regarding the moral decisions thing, I think people will actually show themselves not to differ so much here when it comes to selecting actual AIs that decide one way or another. </div><div><br></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Regards,</span></div><div id="AppleMailSignature"><div style="line-height: normal;"><div style="line-height: normal;"><span style="line-height: 20px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><div style="line-height: normal;"><span style="line-height: 20px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Dan</span></div><div style="line-height: normal;"><span style="line-height: 20px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> Sample my latest Kindle book "Sand Trap":</span></div><div style="line-height: normal;"><font color="#000000" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><a href="http://mybook.to/SandTrap" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">http://mybook.to/SandTrap</a></font></div></div><div><br></div></div><div><div style="line-height: normal;"></div></div></div></body></html>
