People always present this like it's a binary variable. That makes sense for almost nobody... Maybe except Lyft.

We already have self driving cars. My car has "adaptive cruise control" and fancier versions of that do more and more for you on the highway. We're definitely going to see more and more gradual progress of cars taking over certain tasks, from highway driving, to parking, to basic summoning tasks, etc. And that's good. Humans are terrible drivers.

The furthest step out is what a Lyft needs... Like a car that you can deploy anywhere with no human involvement and have it done anything. That's definitely a long way off. But I don't think basic driving will look anything like it does today as we get closer to that point. I would love to see more "self driving only" lanes on highways, or garages designed for autonomous cars, or whatever other cool innovation we'll see. Those things still help a lot along the way.
