Peer-to-peer marketplace to monetize idle autonomous vehicles

Because most people haven't experienced either Waymo or Tesla FSD (i.e. punching in a destination and the car just taking you there with zero human intervention), they don't understand the implications of AVs. Society is about to have a big reboot. Transportation as a service will change how everything and everyone moves around the world. I rented this Tesla via @eonrides and the owner physically dropped it off, but soon enough he'll just send me (the renter) the car autonomously, and I'll get in it and tell it to take me somewhere...no human is touching a wheel here. These are just four-wheeled magic luxury boxes that take people and things anywhere there are roads, controlled by AI and summoned via mobile devices. The notion of even 'owning' a car will become ambiguous: maybe I 'own' one but I send it out to earn on my behalf when I'm at work or asleep...why have it parked somewhere costing me rent when it could be making a couple hundred bucks a day and paying for itself? Nobody will know how to drive, and almost nobody will bother owning as transportation just becomes a thing you summon and pay for on a per-mile basis. Parking lots will be largely gone, or at least placed (like Waymo parking lots) in some unused part of the city far away from human retail and residential. The two lanes of traffic blocked by useless parked cars will be a thing of the past...roads will part pedestrian, part scooter/bicycle, and then orderly lines of autonomous vehicles moving without traffic jams or accidents. Highways will finally work as intended: far left lane for passing and high speed, middle lanes for moderates speeds, and right lane for onramp/offramp, all of it with cars maintaining sensible distances. Gone will be stupid road rage where people chimp out over a missed lane change. Gone will be the idiot kid driving recklessly and making everyone's life worse (every car will have 360 cameras, and you can bet they'll be used in enforcement...will be hard to get away with anything). The tens of thousands of people currently killed and maimed by car accidents will drop to basically zero, and we'll remember with disgust and dismay the days when we thought it normal for some drunk or distracted driver to have to weave two-ton vehicles around pedestrians and bicyclists. Our perception of space itself will change, with implications for urban planning and real estate. Once a drive feels less like a stressful ordeal and more like a business-class flight, the thought of living in nature while still being part of city life will be more attractive. Anecdotally, I lived in the Nevada high desert but worked in SF because the 'commute' was just sitting and listening to podcasts or books while the car drove through beautiful scenery. I did this week after week and only stopped once the startup kicked off...I would never have done this if I had to manually drive. The net effect will be that the range of a Tesla defines what actually is the radius of a city (in my case, the extended range could *just* get to my desert house...I didn't look at houses further than that). The entire notion of our current 'metro' areas will be redefined by how far the magic car goes. The change will be slow because status-seeking politicians will collude with rent-seekers to obstruct all this in the name of 'safety' or 'jobs' or some such BS cause. But it'll be a better world after, and we'll one day wonder how we lived without them.

@antoniogm why doesn’t this exist in Europe
