Exactly.
Plus, the moneyed classes will use autonomous cars as yet another means to control the non-moneyed classes.
For starters, it would be trivially easy to make sure no pleb can drive anywhere near their villas and gated communities (unless they have a special pass to work there). The possibilities are endless. One of the reasons why autonomous cars won’t be “buy to own” for the masses but “as a service” to rent.
And that Trolley Problem? Much easier to solve when the algorithm factors in who has a premium account and who doesn’t.
