It's a downside of public transport too. Possibly my reason for being sensitive to this though is that I almost exclusively use public transport, getting a taxi is relatively rare for me, and I don't own a car.

Have you used public transit in San Francisco?

I want hyper personal transport.

I want high reliability driverless services we can rent for our own cars.

I want to fall asleep in the car with my family and dogs and wake up on the beach or in the mountains.

That'll be peak Americana.
