That seems like a pretty modest definition of "mass produced". I read recently that Honda's factory in Ohio is producing 1,800 cars PER DAY, so this is less than one day's production. Edited to add blue section to further clarify what "in service" means.

![]() Taxi cabs with no driver? How will people know who/how much to tip?
As for over/under, what good is a taxi if you can only ride it in daylight/good weather? Or will they be more like shuttles that only go on specific routes? Those with such restrictions aren't really self-driving IMO. Just sayin'

To answer JMO's question, they would not go on specific routes, but would nonetheless likely be contained to a specific geography. From my perspective, if I can fly into Boca Raton on a weekend and the cab will take me to my friend's house (locally) or any hotel, that's pretty amazing technologically. Is it actually useful? Mmmmm...maybe not so much.

Certainly you can complain and say "hey that's not really self driving" but nobody will be in the car to hear you.

![]() Self-driving cars will never be perfect at avoiding crashes in every situation.
As long as cars are around, there will be car insurance, although it's possible the liability portion of that insurance will eventually be the responsibility of the car manufacturers, with individual car owners only having to worry about insurance for theft, vandalism, and acts of nature.

If it can't get me from my ordinary single-family house on an ordinary street to my favorite restaurant to the arts center where the opera/symphony/ballet/theater group performs or the sports arena/stadium/field where the local teams play to my favorite bar and back home... then I wouldn't call that a self-driving car.
