Yes it does indeed seem inconceivable.

I said it might be a better case, not that it’s a good case. The problem of distracted driving is IMO a problem of irresponsible behavior, it goes way beyond Uber drivers and way beyond cell phone usage.

I don't believe in a critical mass of people who are both careless enough to drive & text, and careful enough to take a cab instead. A better case to me would be replacing careless *uber drivers* with driverless cars.

It's not one mentioned in the post I was replying to. But also, city dwellers, including those with disabilities, generally already have more transit options than the non-urban. The goal of driverless cars is to compete with other services in places where the market is already being served.

sorry but I think the use cases of “drunk city dweller who has no option but to drive themselves home” and “city dweller who just wants to text but is forced to drive themselves across town” are a) kind of edge cases and b) hard to blame on skeptics of the technology.
