For full timers the best answer is move to select, build up a private client base and continue on as a private VIP driver after rideshare has gone. The type of pax that don't mind an autonomous vehicle are probably the same type of pax that only use Pool now. Private clients that are willing to pay extra to get the same driver they already have a rapport with probably will be the ones less willing to ride in a driveless car.

Exactly.. real pax don't want self driving cars. Self driving cars are going to be a complete disaster

The problem is, how many "real" pax are even out there? Look how popular Pool and X is, and look at how many pax try to cram more than 5 people into an X. Those penny pinchers are gonna love self driving cars if the rates are even lower than X or Pool.
If they figure out the bugs with self driving cars, it's gonna kill X. XL will be next once they add self driving minivans. Select and Black is gonna be the only way drivers survive.

G.M. is signing their own death warrant.
When consumers no longer buy personal cars ,
Ride services will import the cheap Chinese cars in fleets.
There will be no U.S. brands left.

They really are shooting themselves in the face. If self driving rideshare does take off, all those riders are gonna stop buying cars. GM and the other manufacturers will sell far less cars while having to maintain and service their own fleets. Only makers that won't be affected will be lux and exotic car makers.

Between the startak and iphone there was the danger sidekick and blackberry....
Between a car and a driverless vehicle there will be a sidekick and blackberry but in the livery business these inbetweens will last decades. This driverless pipedream has many obstacles but none more dangerous than liability. Today the driver absorbs much of the liability. Cut out the driver and all of a sudden these giant conglomerates are going to be responsible for lives lost

I dont have to be an expert to understand the concept of a transitional tech. The transition from driven to driverless has not even started
