That time when people had blocky cell phones. Then they were in everybody's pocket.
That's self-driving now.
It's here, just uneven. You can ride in one today. Soon, it'll be taking over for trucking, delivering everything you can think of on-demand, and revolutionizing how we think about transit and travel.
Instacart and Uber Eats and Amazon same-day are blocky cell phones. Soon we'll have instant logistics. A ten times faster Amazon. A world where almost everything can be delivered instantly and cheaply.
Trains and subways and metros are rigid and inflexible transit corridors. Soon we'll have last-mile transit pods for everyone that connect everything and everywhere and make suburbs highly desirable and sought after again.
Self-driving will be like the internet or smartphones all over again. And we're right at the precipice.
The financial gradients of all of this ensure that it'll happen and that it'll happen fast and all at once once we get past the inflection point.
But back to your point: you wouldn't call those blocky cell phone users non-cellphone users. The tech just wasn't evenly distributed. It got there in short time, because the tech was world-changing. So too shall it be with self-driving. The economic advantages are inevitable.
