@silver_buttercat @johannab @ai6yr @kajord but when my son was much younger there was zero chance "self-driving taxis" would have been a viable option for us as parents. Starting with the need for safely, correctly installed car seats (which doesn't go away with self-driving cars - babies & toddlers still need special seats that have to be installed correctly to actually function to protect them in case of accidents) plus the wipes/diapers/bags/emergancy food/toys we kept in the car at all times

@silver_buttercat @johannab @ai6yr @kajord and my son may have been atypical but at times it would take 45 minutes or longer to get him to get in (or out) of the car when he was being a stubborn toddler and didn't want to go home from preschool. Or when he was a baby or toddler he would fall asleep in the car and we would either keep driving or pull over and let him sleep - in either case not something we would have done in a driverless vehicle (imagine one driving off with a sleeping baby)
