What if we use AV technology to let shared cars reposition themselves during the night? Would make a nationwide car sharing scheme feasible.https://twitter.com/Gladwell/status/1365384659123597315 …

Thijs Niks @thijsniksOnce you don’t drive in your own car anymore, you need access to a generic one anytime anywhere. That is the service car sharing platforms, like Uber, provide. They figure out how many people need a car when and where, and ensure there are enough cars to match it affordably. pic.twitter.com/RvfQVATj9AShow this thread1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

I meant to "only" let them reposition themselves at night. During the day you drive it yourself. Solves the last 20% problem.

If the car can drive at night, why would you drive yourself during the day?

Because there's pedestrians, cyclists and other random stuff around during the day. And repositioning can be at 30kph
