    I really like this idea! How would you get parasites to not use the self driving cabs in lieu of public transit? It’s a great idea for disabled folks and others who have a more difficult time using mass transit, but it seems like something rich people would monopolize.

      Pricing. Taxes on robo-cabs that partially fund the cost of public transit. Subsidies for disabled people who need a robo-cab and can’t use public transit.

      IMO there should also be an additional tax on self-driving cars for private use. It’s ridiculous right now that many people use their cars for maybe 2 hours a day, and the other 22 they just sit parked somewhere.
