> Just because it doesn't have a driver doesn't mean it doesn't need to be manufactured. Car companies will do fine.

From TFA: "We can reduce the number of cars by 90%." So, you read that and disagree with it?

I'll disagree with it. A lot of cars are needed all at once. There's definitely over-capacity, but a lot more than 10% of people still need to get to work at around 9am and leave sometime around 5pm.

Yeah. "We can reduce the number of cars by 90%" seems optimistic. But so does "Car companies will do fine".

I haven't done the math though.
