That's assuming it will be autonomous.... to which I'd add, hopefully never! But, what if Apple is just building an electric car with a bunch of assistive technologies? (And all this autonomous stuff is just 'futurist' assumptions.)
I wrote in another post that not in my lifetime will we see a change of laws, but there just has to be.
The world is getting more crowded and there are a lot of bad or irresponsible drivers.
Some areas in this country are permanently clogged with traffic, creating parking lots, bad emissions and it wastes peoples time. There are all texting or distracted anyway.
So, lets say Apple creates a car, you put in from your phone or watch where you have to go, drive through the side streets on your own, but then when you hit the major highways, you become part of a controlled network
speed, which would get you near your destination faster than the stop and go traffic we have now.
Then again on side streets until they get networked people
drive.
No road rage, as it's all regulated, no accidents (theoretically) and the part
that nobody has cracked yet is that people will just not let go of their cars. Mass transit, HOV lanes ahem not changed behaviors with annoying other people with sneezing, coughing in the winter or whatever disturbances they bring.
You are in your car at peace texting, talking one the phone watching TV shows or whatever the internet has to offer, or already getting work done. Just need to learn patience.
What a wonderful world
