Mass transit ONLY work in large high population areas. Yea, in some little tiny state like most of New England, it is great. Mass transit is a joke in the VAST majority of the USA. Montana or North Nevada will never need mass transit, there is no mass to transit.
Honest question, because I don't know. What mass transit systems in the USA are actually operating and maintaining a safe system without huge taxpayer support? I know Amtrak is almost as profitable as the post office and as safe as running with scissors when drunk.
Anyone that has made the drive from Kansas City to Denver (or visa-versa) has seen a whole lot of open country and had a long boring drive. It would be ideal for a automated car. Set it on the destination and take a nap or read a book or surf the internet.
I plan to drive my own car for as long as I am able. I do see the day coming that I will open an App on my phone and a automated car will come to my location and I will get in and enter my destination and when I get there it will drive off to the next client. When I am ready to go home a different car will show up. I will no longer need to own a car. Almost no waiting, and cheaper than mass transit.
