Autonomous vehicles as a tool to help the poor is an interesting angle, one I wish I had thought of myself. (I think this piece is overoptimistic in the medium term, but probably not wrong.)
Cars often keep people poor. Waymo could help.
The poorest fifth of American families spend 38% of their income on a car. The breakdowns and road deaths that fall hardest on them are just the cost of getting by. Self-driving cars can change that.
