I like the idea of what you suggest Ed, but the reality will not be good. Most people are slobs. Don't believe me? Look in the windows of cars in parking lots anywhere in the Country and you'll see what I mean. And I'm just as guilty as the next person, so I'm not calling anyone out here without calling out myself too.
I can just imagine how some of these "shared" ride cars would be like on the inside after a few hundred trips even if the authority running the program cleaned the cars on a regular basis. Paraphrasing George Carlin, "my mess is stuff and your mess is gross". :) Paul H.

Sure, if the vehicle would come to my house when I need it, and when I return home, it drives itself away. Or if I want to travel somewhere for the day, I would want to rent it to get there, and then again to return home, but not for the hours/days that I am there. A fleet of state-owned autonomous cars would give me that freedom: pay for what you need, and not for idle time. -- Ed Leafe [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
